Fixed Wire Testing

Fixed wire testing is a legal requirement for building safety and is often mandated by commercial insurance. We provide all relevant documentation upon completion to ensure our clients have proof of testing. You can trust our staff to conduct fixed wire testing quickly while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Contractors like UK Safety Management can perform EICR tests to high standards, but the property owner is responsible for ensuring they are done. This aligns with the employer's legal obligation to maintain employee health and safety. To avoid fines and penalties for health and safety negligence, ensure fixed wire testing is completed when required.

In the UK, an EICR report typically costs between £125 and £300, depending on the size of your site and the number of electrical installations. More installations mean a higher cost. At Safety Pro Maintenance, we aim to provide our clients with the most affordable solutions.

Fixed wire testing is essential to ensure the safety of a building’s occupants and compliance with health and safety regulations. It identifies potential electrical faults that could lead to dangerous situations like fires or electrocution. An EICR report issued after the test outlines any further work required to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. By having fixed wire testing carried out regularly, you can ensure that high safety standards are maintained and that your appliances continue to work correctly.

The frequency of fixed wire testing depends on the type of premises. For industrial premises, the maximum time allowed between tests is three years. Testing should be done every five years for retail outlets, commercial offices, or shops. However, testing must be conducted annually if electrical installations are exposed to water or liquids, such as swimming pools or spa businesses. You can always contact our experts if you’re unsure whether you need to have fixed wire testing carried out.
