Commercial EICR and fixed wire testing, emergency lighting certification and thermal imaging surveys for businesses, schools, facilities managers and landlords across Nuneaton, Atherstone, Bedworth and North Warwickshire. Testing is booked around your working hours, including evenings, nights and weekends.
Nuneaton and Atherstone sit on one of the Midlands' busiest commercial corridors. The A5, M6 junction 3, the M69 and the A444 serve business parks such as Bermuda Park, engineering and automotive research around MIRA Technology Park, and a growing number of distribution warehouses. Alongside them are town-centre shops, offices, schools and care homes.
Whether your building is a modern logistics shed or a converted older property in Atherstone's historic Long Street, regular EICR testing confirms the wiring is safe. Emergency lighting certification keeps escape routes compliant, and thermal imaging spots overheating connections before they fail.
We test commercial and rented properties across the area, including:
We agree an isolation plan before we start and test one circuit at a time, keeping critical equipment live where possible. Most commercial work is done when your premises are quiet.
From a shop on Long Street to a business park unit off the M6.
Engineering, automotive and manufacturing businesses with three-phase plant, tested at weekends or during planned shutdowns.
Warehouses along the A5 and M69, with high-bay lighting, loading docks and long escape routes to certify.
Business park units and town-centre offices, tested out of hours with IT and access control kept running.
Shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants in Nuneaton, Bedworth and Atherstone, tested before opening or after closing.
Care homes, surgeries and clinics, where testing is carefully planned around residents and patients.
Rented homes and HMOs across Nuneaton, Bedworth and North Warwickshire, with access arranged for you.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough inspection and test of your fixed wiring, from the incoming supply through every distribution board to each final circuit. It confirms whether your installation is safe to keep using, and gives you the report insurers and auditors expect under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Problems found on test? As part of Able Electric, our electricians can carry out the repairs. Electrical installations & repairs since 2009.
Any C1, C2 or FI means an "Unsatisfactory" report. We explain each one and quote to put it right.
Maximum recommended intervals based on IET Guidance Note 3. Your insurer, or the condition and use of the installation, may call for shorter intervals.
When the power goes, everyone in your building, from warehouse staff to care home residents, needs a clearly lit route to a safe exit. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must make sure emergency lighting is maintained and tested, and BS 5266-1 sets out how.
Failed fittings or batteries? We replace and retest them, and can upgrade old fittings to LED. Repairs carried out by Able Electric.
Short functional test. A brief check that each fitting switches to battery. Usually done in-house; we can show your staff how.
Full rated-duration test. Usually 3 hours on battery. Carried out and certified by us.
Log book kept up to date. Fire officers and insurers will ask to see it.
A thermal camera shows heat the eye can't see. We scan your switchgear, distribution boards, busbars and machinery connections while they run under full production load, with no shutdown and no lost output, and find faults before they cause a breakdown or a fire.
Hotspots found? Our electricians can fix the fault and rescan to confirm. Find out more about Able Electric.
Illustration. Your report includes the actual thermal images from your site.

What businesses, facilities managers, schools and landlords across North Warwickshire ask us before booking.
Yes. We test commercial and rented properties across Nuneaton, Bedworth, Atherstone and North Warwickshire, including Attleborough, Stockingford, Camp Hill, Galley Common, Weddington, Hartshill, Mancetter, Grendon, Bulkington and Polesworth. We're NICEIC Approved and SafeContractor Accredited.
Yes. Most of our commercial testing in the area is done in the evening, overnight or at weekends. We isolate circuits one at a time to a plan agreed with you, so critical equipment such as servers, refrigeration and alarms can stay live wherever possible.
Maximum recommended intervals are five years for offices, shops, warehouses and schools, and three years for industrial premises. Leisure facilities such as swimming pools are every year. Insurers may set shorter intervals, and your report recommends the next test date.
Yes. Logistics and distribution sites have long cable runs, high-bay lighting, loading docks and charging areas. We test zone by zone, often overnight, and report each area separately so any remedial work is easy to plan.
Yes. Older and converted buildings often have wiring from several eras, with alterations added over time. An EICR identifies what's safe, what needs attention and what should be upgraded, and we explain the findings in plain English.
Yes. We carry out the annual full-duration test required by BS 5266-1 across Nuneaton & Atherstone premises, checking every fitting and exit sign along escape routes, stairwells and open areas. You get a certificate and an updated log book. Failed fittings and batteries can be replaced, and older fittings upgraded to LED.
No. Thermal imaging has to be done while the installation is under normal load, so there's no shutdown. We scan switchgear, distribution boards and connections for loose terminations, overloading, unbalanced phases and failing breakers, and report each hotspot with thermal images, temperatures and a priority rating.
Yes. Thermal imaging is done during the working day while you're running, with the EICR and emergency lighting duration test that evening or weekend. You get one set of RAMS, one contact and one combined list of any remedial work.
Yes. We provide site-specific RAMS before attendance, SafeContractor accreditation for supplier approval, testing programmed across all your sites, consistent reports, and remedial quotes itemised by observation code for budget sign-off.
Private landlords in England must have rented homes inspected and tested at least every five years, give tenants a copy of the report within 28 days, and give it to new tenants before they move in. Your local council (Nuneaton and Bedworth, or North Warwickshire) can ask for a copy, which must be supplied within 7 days. Any remedial work must be completed within 28 days. We test single lets, HMOs and portfolios across Nuneaton & Atherstone, and can arrange access with tenants or your agent.
Immediate dangers (C1) are made safe on the day. Everything else is explained in plain English and priced item by item. EICR Testing is part of Able Electric, carrying out electrical installations and repairs since 2009, so our own electricians can complete the work, out of hours if needed, and confirm it in writing.
