Fire Alarm Certificate for Landlords in Bristol - Allied Electrical Services

As a landlord or business owner in Bristol, you should be aware that the electrical safety of a commercial property is imperative. A commercial EICR report can qualify as your legal obligation under the Electricity at Work Regulations1989 to ensure the safety of the property. Allied Electrical Services are well prepared and experienced with commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports.

What is a commercial EICR?

A commercial EICR - or Electrical Installation Condition Report -is a vital piece of documentation which would be issued by approved electricians such as Allied Electrical Services after a thorough inspection of the property. 

You may have heard the terms ‘electrical safety certificate’ or ‘electric safety check’ but the official term used in the industry is Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Not only will this report deem the electrical elements of your property as sound but will also highlight any potential issues such as loose connections in circuits or wear and tear caused by age. Once an EICR is issued, it is generally valid for 5 years from the date stated on the certificate.

What happens during an EICR?

Our electricians conduct a visual assessment of the electrical systems on the premises first. A series of tests then follows, tests are conducted on any permanent features of the property such as electrical circuits, the consumer unit as well as testing plug sockets, light fittings and additional components depending on the type of commercial business you are. For example, I might need to check solar panels or storage heaters if they are part of your property.

Any faults or failures that are found during the investigation are recorded and assigned a classification code of which there are three. C1, C2 and C3 indicate the seriousness of the hazard or issue found.

C1 indicating the highest risk of injury implies that the fault must be rectified immediately before the property is classed as safe. C2 suggests a potential danger which must be rectified within 28 days. C3 will include any improvements that could be made but are not required. Our friendly team of electricians insist on communicating the stages of an EICR with our customers and can go through the classifications codes with you in more detail.

Benefits of a commercial EICR

Having qualified electricians such as Allied Electrical Services Bristol conduct a thorough investigation of the electrical systems at your property means you can rest assured that any faults will be detected and you will be left with a property that is electrically safe.

Safety- As a commercial property owner or building manager, it is imperative that your employees, colleagues and customers are safe and free of risks associated with poor electrical systems.

Insurance necessity- In addition to health and safety, any building insurance policies you have may be void as many insurance companies require an EICR as part of their policy conditions.

Appeal- A building which has been investigated by qualified electricians can be desirable for tenants as the property is electrically sound and efficient.

Maintenance- By complying with health and safety regulations and regularly having electrical systems checked by electricians means any faults are detected as soon as possible. If left undetected, many electrical issues can escalate and turn out to be extremely costly when it comes to repairs. Having to stop trading if you are in a business setting or to have a property vacant while you carry out emergency electrical repairs can be a huge waste of money.
