Insurers are increasingly strict.
If an incident occurs and you cannot produce a valid EICR, many policies will refuse to pay out.
Beyond insurance, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a legal duty on duty holders to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition.
Failure to comply can result in:
• Fines
• Enforcement notices
• Prosecution
• Closure of premises
Electrical compliance is not optional. It is a leadership responsibility.
Fixed Wire Testing is part of a wider compliance strategy.
CSE Facilities provides integrated commercial electrical services including:
• Fixed Wire Testing (EICR)
• PAT Testing
• Emergency Lighting Testing
• Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing
• Thermal Imaging Surveys
• Electrical Remedial Works
• Planned Compliance Programmes
We don’t just test.

For multi-site organisations, academies and commercial portfolios, this means one provider, one compliance calendar and one accountable partner.
We work across:
• Office buildings
• Warehouses
• Manufacturing facilities
• Retail estates
• Schools and academies
• Universities
• Industrial sites
Clients trust us because we deliver:
• Night and weekend testing to avoid disruption

• Honest remedial quotations
• Digital reporting via secure client portal
• Board-ready documentation
We are not the cheapest.
We are the safest choice for organisations that take compliance seriously..
Educational and commercial establishments work with us because we deliver quality, consistency and integrity — not the lowest price on paper.
Schools, academies, universities, commercial sites and industrial buildings trust us with their compliance.
Family-feel, national capability. You get real people, real communication and real accountability.
Fast responses. Clear updates. A single point of contact who actually answers the phone.
Smooth delivery, safe work, clean reporting and full peace of mind.
PAT testing covers appliances.
Fixed Wire Testing covers the electrical installation behind the walls.
A socket overheating behind the faceplate will never be identified by PAT alone.
Complete electrical compliance requires both:
PAT Testing (portable equipment)
Fixed Wire Testing (EICR) (fixed installation)
Anything less leaves risk on the table.
When you onboard with CSE Facilities, you gain access to a secure digital portal providing:
• Live downloadable EICR certificates
• Real-time job tracking
• Estate-wide compliance overview
• Multi-site visibility
• Direct communication
• Audit-ready documentation
Modern compliance requires modern systems.
We provide both.

We’ll assess:
• Your current certification status
• Your compliance exposure
• Your risk profile
• Your insurer requirements
Then provide a clear, structured quotation — no pressure, no obligation.
Take control of your electrical compliance today.

How often is fixed wire testing required for commercial buildings?
Most commercial properties require testing every 5 years. Higher-risk environments such as industrial or public-use buildings may require more frequent inspection.
Is fixed wire testing a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, duty holders must ensure electrical systems are maintained in a safe condition. An EICR demonstrates compliance.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
You will receive coded observations (C1, C2, C3 or FI). C1 and C2 issues require urgent remedial action. We provide transparent quotations for all required works.
Can testing be carried out outside working hours?
Yes. We regularly deliver night and weekend testing to minimise disruption to commercial operations and educational settings.
Do insurers require an EICR?
Increasingly, yes. Many insurers now request up-to-date electrical certification. Failure to provide it can invalidate claims.
