5 Yearly EICR
Keep Your Electrical Systems Safe and Compliant
We carry out 5 yearly Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for commercial and industrial properties. Our inspections identify faults, wear or safety issues before they affect your operations or compliance.

- Assessment of wear, damage or deterioration
- A full coded report with recommendations
All work is carried out by qualified engineers using calibrated testing equipment.
