Commercial Electrician in London
We are a commercial electrician and family business based in Acton, looking after offices, schools, shops, cafés, gyms and other business premises across London.
Testing, repairs and installations are planned around your opening hours, so your staff and customers carry on as normal and your compliance records stay complete.
A commercial electrician that works around your opening hours
Every business has a quiet window. Therefore, as your commercial electrician we find yours and book the testing, repairs and noisy work into it, rather than into your busiest hours.
These are the windows most businesses choose. We fit around your own hours and priorities.
The checks most business premises need
Under fire safety law, the responsible person must keep fire alarms and emergency lighting in good working order and record the fire safety arrangements in full, whatever the size of the business. In addition, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be kept safe. Here is what that usually means in practice, and which checks a commercial electrician should carry out.
| Check | How often | Standard | Who does it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire alarm test from a call point | Weekly | BS 5839-1 | Your staff we show them how |
| Emergency lighting function test | Monthly | BS 5266-1 | Your staff or Us |
| Fire alarm service | Every 6 months | BS 5839-1 | Us |
| Emergency lighting duration test | Every year | BS 5266-1 | Us |
| PAT testing | Based on risk, often yearly | IET Code of Practice | Us |
| EICR (fixed wire testing) | Up to 5 years for offices and shops, 3 for gyms | BS 7671 | Us |

PAT testing
Every portable appliance inspected, tested, labelled and recorded in an asset register.

When to call a commercial electrician
From our base in Acton, W3, we cover Park Royal, North Acton, Ealing, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Willesden and the rest of London. For example, it is worth booking a visit when:
- Your EICR is more than five years old, or you have just taken on a new lease.
- Your fire risk assessment lists actions for emergency lighting or the fire alarm.
- Your insurer or landlord has also asked for up-to-date certificates.
- Your fire alarm keeps giving false alarms or showing a fault.
- Breakers keep tripping, or lights and sockets have stopped working.
- You are moving in, fitting out or extending, because new work needs certifying.

Commercial electrician FAQs
Do you work outside business hours?
Yes, as a commercial electrician we regularly work early mornings, evenings and weekends, and we book school work for half terms and holidays. Therefore, your staff and customers are not disrupted.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Acton, W3, so we reach Park Royal, Ealing, Chiswick, Hammersmith and Willesden quickly. We also take on commercial work across the rest of London.
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?
It depends on the premises. For example, IET guidance suggests a maximum of five years for offices, shops and schools, but three years for leisure sites such as gyms. Your inspector may also set a shorter interval based on condition.
Can you do all our testing in one visit?
Yes, in most cases. For instance, we can test your appliances, emergency lighting and fire alarm on the same day, which saves time and keeps your records in one place.
Are your engineers DBS checked?
Yes, our engineers hold Enhanced DBS checks wherever required, and we have already carried out work for several schools.
Do you fix the faults you find?
Yes, after testing we send a clear quote for any remedial work. Once you approve it, we carry out the repairs and update your certificates.
