Procure Direct provides commercial EICR and fixed wire testing for businesses across Lincolnshire. Our qualified electrical engineers inspect and test fixed electrical installations to identify deterioration, defects and potential safety risks, helping organisations maintain safe and compliant premises.
Our commercial electrical testing services cover offices, schools, retail premises, warehouses, industrial facilities and other commercial environments. Following inspection and testing, clients receive a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) outlining the condition of the installation and any recommended remedial action.
Testing can be planned around operational requirements to minimise disruption, with ongoing support available where electrical faults or compliance issues are identified.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety and condition of a building’s fixed electrical systems. This includes all permanent electrical installations throughout the property.
During EICR testing, our engineers inspect and test:
The purpose of fixed wire testing is to confirm that your installation is safe for continued use and compliant with current electrical safety standards.
Once testing is complete, you receive an EICR certificate containing:
Commercial fixed wire testing assesses the condition and safety of the permanent electrical installations within a building, including wiring, circuits, distribution boards, sockets, lighting systems, earthing and protective devices.
During a commercial fixed wire inspection, our engineers carry out visual assessments and electrical testing to identify defects, deterioration and areas that may require remedial attention. The findings are recorded within an Electrical Installation Condition Report, providing businesses with a clear assessment of the condition of their electrical infrastructure.
Regular inspection and testing helps organisations identify electrical risks before they develop into more serious faults, while supporting wider workplace electrical safety and compliance responsibilities.
Electrical installations naturally deteriorate over time due to usage, environmental conditions, loading demands, and age. Without regular fixed wire testing, faults can go unnoticed until they cause equipment failure, electric shock risks, or electrical fires.
Regular EICR testing helps businesses and landlords:
For commercial buildings, electrical compliance is not simply a recommendation. In many cases, it forms part of health and safety responsibilities and insurance conditions.
Landlords have a legal responsibility to ensure electrical installations remain safe throughout a tenancy. We provide professional inspections and landlord electrical safety certificates for both commercial and residential rental properties.
Our engineers carry out detailed fixed wire testing to assess the safety and condition of the installation, helping landlords meet compliance obligations and maintain safe properties for tenants.
After inspection, you receive a clear and fully documented EICR certificate, including explanations of any observations and recommendations for remedial works where required.
Our electrical safety testers regularly identify issues that could compromise safety, compliance, or system performance.
Common problems include:
Identifying these issues early helps prevent more serious faults, operational disruption, and expensive emergency repairs.
Our electrical safety testers carry out both visual inspections and live electrical testing to assess the integrity and safety of the installation.
Testing may include:
Any defects identified during the inspection are categorised using standard industry coding to help prioritise remedial actions based on risk level.
The recommended frequency for commercial EICR inspections depends on the type of property, its usage, and the operational environment.
Commercial offices, retail units, schools, and most public buildings are typically tested every five years, while industrial facilities and higher-risk environments may require more frequent inspections due to heavier electrical demands and environmental conditions.
Rental properties generally require inspection every five years or at change of tenancy.
More frequent fixed wire testing may also be recommended where installations experience heavy usage, exposure to moisture, physical damage risks, or significant operational loads.
At Procure Direct, we provide dependable electrical compliance services backed by experienced engineers and practical industry expertise.
Businesses choose us because we deliver:
We understand that businesses need more than a compliance certificate. They need reliable service, practical recommendations, and testing carried out efficiently with minimal operational impact.
Fixed wire testing is the inspection and testing process carried out on a property’s permanent electrical systems. The findings from this inspection are documented within an Electrical Installation Condition Report, commonly known as an EICR certificate.
Most commercial properties should undergo EICR testing every five years. However, industrial environments, high-risk sites, and buildings with heavy electrical usage may require more frequent inspections.
While legislation varies depending on the property type and usage, businesses have responsibilities under the Electricity at Work Regulations to maintain safe electrical systems. Regular EICR testing helps demonstrate compliance and duty of care.
An EICR certificate details the condition of a property’s electrical installation, identifies any defects or safety concerns, and provides recommendations for remedial work where required.
The duration of fixed wire testing depends on the size, complexity, and condition of the installation. Small commercial premises may take a few hours, while larger industrial or multi-site properties may require phased inspections over multiple visits.
If issues are identified during testing, they will be categorised based on severity using standard industry coding. Any dangerous or potentially dangerous faults should be addressed through remedial works to achieve a satisfactory report.
Yes. To minimise disruption, commercial EICR testing can often be scheduled during evenings, weekends, shutdown periods, or planned maintenance windows.
Yes. Landlords are responsible for ensuring electrical installations remain safe throughout a tenancy. A landlord electrical safety certificate helps demonstrate compliance and confirms the condition of the electrical installation.
Procure Direct provides commercial EICR and fixed wire testing for organisations throughout Lincolnshire, including businesses in Lincoln, Sleaford, Grantham, Boston, Spalding, Skegness, Louth, Gainsborough and surrounding areas.
From individual commercial premises to schools, industrial facilities and multi-site organisations, our engineers provide electrical inspection and testing around each site’s operational and compliance requirements.
Where issues are identified during an EICR or fixed wire inspection, Procure Direct can provide commercial electrical maintenance and repairs to address faults and restore the installation to a safe condition.
The wider compliance section will also connect EICR with Procure Direct’s other priority commercial electrical services:
Alongside commercial EICR and fixed wire testing, Procure Direct provides commercial emergency lighting installation, testing and maintenance, commercial electrical maintenance and repairs and commercial electrical installations, providing businesses with ongoing support across their electrical installation and compliance requirements.
