Tell us about your building and what you need tested, and we'll send a clear, fixed quote. EICRs, emergency lighting and thermal imaging for businesses, schools, facilities managers, landlords and home owners across Birmingham and the Midlands.
To give you an accurate price, it helps to know the type of building, its approximate size, how many distribution boards (fuse boards) there are, and roughly how many emergency light fittings. Photos of the boards are useful but not essential.
Let us know any times we must avoid and when your last test was. For commercial sites we'll confirm the scope and access and provide RAMS. Prefer to talk? Call 0121 296 6430, answered 24/7.
We test commercial and rented properties across the West Midlands and beyond, including:
Most businesses can't switch the power off during the day. We plan the work around you, test one circuit at a time and leave everything as we found it.
Every type of commercial, public and rented building, from a single unit to a multi-site estate.
Offices, business centres and managed units, tested out of hours with servers and IT kept running.
Factories, machine shops and fabricators with three-phase plant, tested at weekends or during planned shutdowns.
Schools, academies, nurseries and colleges, tested in the holidays with access planned around the timetable.
Care homes, surgeries, dentists and clinics, tested in stages so residents and patients are never left without power.
Shops, showrooms and trade counters, tested overnight or before opening so customers are never affected.
Rented homes, HMOs and flats, with access arranged with tenants or your letting agent and reports sent straight to you.
An EICR checks the condition of the fixed electrical installation in your building: switchgear, distribution boards, cables, sockets, lighting circuits, earthing and bonding. Every defect is coded by urgency, so you know exactly what needs doing and when, and you have the report your insurer and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 call for.
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 fails, staff, pupils, residents and customers need a clear, 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.
EICR Testing is part of Able Electric, who have been carrying out electrical installations and repairs across the Midlands since 2009. When your EICR, emergency lighting test or thermal survey finds a problem, the same NICEIC-approved team can fix it. There's no second contractor to find and nobody to re-brief.
What businesses, facilities managers, schools and landlords ask us before booking.
Yes. Quotes are free and there's no obligation.
Yes. Once we've agreed the scope, the price for testing is fixed. Any remedial work is quoted separately, item by item, so you decide what to go ahead with.
Usually not. Most quotes can be done from a few details and photos. For larger or more complex sites we may arrange a short survey.
Anything dangerous is made safe before we leave. You then get a clear explanation of each C2 and FI observation with a fixed price per item. As part of Able Electric, who have carried out electrical installations and repairs since 2009, our electricians can do the repairs and issue the paperwork to show it's been put right.
