Commercial EICR Testing in Bolton

Commercial EICR testing in Bolton for shops, offices, workshops and rented business premises. ANR Electrics tests your fixed wiring and gives you a clear report to help you meet your safety duties.

Your Legal Duty as an Employer or Landlord

The Electricity at Work Regulations require employers to keep electrical systems safe. Commercial landlords share that duty for the parts they control. A commercial EICR is the standard way to show the fixed wiring has been checked. Fire risk assessors and insurers often ask for one too.

How Often Business Premises Should Be Tested

Guidance for most offices, shops and restaurants suggests a test at least every five years. Industrial units are usually tested every three years, and some places, like swimming pools, need testing every year. A change of tenant is also a good time to test.

What Your Commercial Report Includes

Your report lists every circuit tested, the test results and any issues found, each with a code showing how urgent it is. It also gives an overall result and a recommended date for the next test. If repairs are needed, we explain them in plain terms and can carry them out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does commercial EICR testing take in Bolton?

It depends on the size of the premises and the number of circuits. A small shop or office can often be tested in half a day. Larger buildings with several distribution boards can take a day or more. We give you a time estimate before we book the work in.

Is a commercial EICR a legal requirement in Bolton?

No single law names a commercial EICR, but businesses must keep their electrics safe under the Electricity at Work Regulations. A current EICR is the usual way to show that. Without one, it is harder to prove you have met your duty or to satisfy your insurer.

Do you test rented commercial units in Bolton for landlords?

Yes. We carry out commercial EICR testing for landlords with shops, offices and business units. Testing between tenants is a good time, as the unit is often empty and circuits can be turned off without disruption. We send you the report so you can keep it with your property records.
