EICR Testing
Structured electrical installation condition reporting for commercial properties, public-sector buildings and organisations managing multiple sites.
Understand the condition of your fixed electrical installation
FELCO provides EICR testing to help facilities teams, property managers and responsible organisations identify defects, understand electrical condition and plan appropriate remedial work.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report provides a detailed assessment of the fixed electrical installation within a building. It can identify deterioration, damage, unsuitable alterations and other observations that may require attention or further investigation.
For commercial organisations, completing the inspection is only one part of the process. Access must be planned, disruption must be managed and the resulting findings need to be understood, prioritised and followed through.
FELCO coordinates commercial property EICR programmes from the initial planning stage through to reporting and remedial work. Whether the requirement involves one building or EICR testing across multiple properties, our team provides an organised approach shaped around the client’s estate and operational needs.
Clear inspections, practical reports and coordinated action
Commercial property EICR testing
A commercial property EICR should provide useful evidence about electrical condition and a clear basis for deciding what happens next.
Commercial electrical installations can change considerably during the life of a building. Circuits may be altered, equipment added and spaces adapted to support new occupants or operational requirements. General use, environmental conditions and previous work can also affect the condition of the installation over time.
During an EICR, the engineer assesses relevant accessible parts of the fixed electrical system and carries out electrical testing in accordance with the agreed scope. This may include circuits, distribution equipment, protective devices, earthing and bonding arrangements.
The resulting report records the condition of the installation, observations identified and any areas that could not be fully assessed. This gives facilities and property teams a clearer understanding of the electrical systems for which they are responsible.
01
Plan the EICR around the property
Before testing begins, FELCO works with the client to establish the scope of the inspection and understand how the building operates. This includes confirming the areas to be inspected, identifying access restrictions and discussing equipment or services that may be affected by temporary isolation. Existing electrical records, previous reports and known concerns can also be reviewed where available. For occupied commercial and public-sector premises, the inspection may need to be completed in phases or during agreed periods of reduced activity. Careful planning helps limit avoidable disruption and ensures relevant site teams understand how the work will progress.
Inspect and test the electrical installation
Our engineers complete a visual assessment and electrical testing of the installation included within the agreed scope. The inspection may cover distribution boards, circuits, protective devices, accessories, earthing and bonding, as well as other accessible parts of the fixed electrical system. Some testing requires temporary isolation, which is coordinated with the nominated site contact before work proceeds. Any operational restrictions, inaccessible areas or other limitations are recorded. This ensures the report accurately reflects the extent of the inspection and identifies where further access or investigation may be necessary.

Report findings and progress remedial works
Following the inspection, FELCO prepares the Electrical Installation Condition Report, including relevant observations and the overall outcome of the assessment. Facilities teams can use the findings to understand which issues require attention and to plan the appropriate next steps. Where an observation needs further investigation or remedial work, our team can explain the practical implications and help develop a suitable scope. FELCO can also complete the electrical remedial work identified through the EICR. Keeping inspection and follow-up work connected gives clients clearer oversight and reduces the complexity of transferring findings between separate contractors.
What can our EICR testing service include?
The exact scope will depend on the type, size and use of the property, together with the condition and accessibility of the electrical installation.

- Electrical Installation Condition Reports
- Visual assessment of fixed electrical installations
- Circuit testing
- Distribution board inspection and testing
- Protective device testing
- Checks of earthing and bonding arrangements
- Identification of electrical defects and deterioration
- Assessment of alterations to existing installations
- Recording of inaccessible areas and inspection limitations
- Phased testing within occupied properties
- Out-of-hours testing by prior arrangement
- EICR testing across multiple properties
- Coordinated programmes for commercial property portfolios
- Reporting of observations and required actions
- Further investigation of identified concerns
- Electrical remedial works following an EICR
- Follow-up testing and supporting documentation
- Liaison with facilities teams, tenants and site contacts
- Maintenance of more consistent inspection records across an estate
EICR testing across multiple properties
A portfolio-wide EICR programme requires consistent planning, reporting and communication across every location.
Managing inspections individually can make it difficult for facilities teams to maintain visibility over which properties have been completed, where limitations were recorded and what remedial work remains outstanding.
FELCO can coordinate EICR testing across multiple properties through a planned programme of visits. Sites can be grouped by location, operational priority, previous inspection history or other requirements identified by the client.
A consistent approach to attendance and reporting helps estates teams review findings across the wider portfolio. It also makes it easier to monitor progress, identify recurring concerns and plan remedial budgets with a clearer understanding of electrical condition across different buildings.
