Service overview
What commercial electrical installation & testing actually involves.
What it is, Commercial electrical installation covers new fit-outs, refurbishments, distribution-board upgrades, EICRs for landlords and tenants, and reactive maintenance for businesses across Blackpool, Preston and the wider Fylde Coast.
Who it's for, Independent retailers, restaurants and cafés, gyms, offices, light industrial units, holiday parks and commercial landlords carrying out CAT-A or CAT-B fit-outs.
When you need it, Before opening day, at lease renewal, on change of tenant, after a periodic EICR coding, when a distribution board is end-of-life, or when load demand has outgrown the existing supply.
Why it matters, An unsatisfactory EICR or a non-compliant installation can void your business insurance, breach your lease, and shut your premises down on the spot at an HSE inspection.
What happens if you delay
The cost of putting it off.
Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented.
- 1
An unsatisfactory commercial EICR is grounds for your insurer to refuse a fire claim, potentially six-figure exposure for a small business.
- 2
Three-phase imbalance from poorly distributed loads causes nuisance tripping and shortens the life of expensive kitchen and refrigeration plant.
- 3
Out-of-date emergency lighting fails its 3-hour test on the day a fire officer visits, immediate enforcement notice.
- 4
Tenant alterations done without landlord consent or certification breach almost every commercial lease.
- 5
Untested PAT and fixed-wiring records leave directors personally exposed under the Electricity at Work Regs 1989.
Our process
A five-step system, no surprises.
Step 1
On-site inspection
We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call.
Step 2
Written diagnosis & fixed quote
You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises.
Step 3
Scheduled installation
Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board.
Step 4
Testing & certification
Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal.
Step 5
Aftercare & 12-month guarantee
12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting.

Residential vs commercial
Commercial work brings three-phase distribution, larger conductor sizes, formal load studies, BS 5266 emergency lighting integration and far stricter periodic inspection cycles (1–5 years vs domestic 10), but the underlying BS 7671 standard is the same.
Our work
A wider look at recent Northern Tec projects.
A general preview of installations and testing work photographed on site across our recent jobs.
Typically every 5 years for offices and shops, every 3 years for industrial and hospitality, and annually for swimming pools, leisure and caravan sites. Your insurer's schedule may demand more frequent inspection, we'll align to whichever is stricter.
