Electrical Compliance & Contracting
One in three commercial buildings fails its EICR. The liability sits with the duty holder — not the contractor who last signed it off.
The problem
Building owners and FM teams routinely hold electrical certificates that are out of date, incorrectly scoped, or signed off by unqualified contractors.
When something goes wrong — a fire, an insurance claim, a HSE inspection — the duty holder is accountable. Not the electrician. Not the previous tenant.
Answer seven quick questions to see how your paperwork measures up. It takes a minute, and you'll get a straight answer.
What we do
We work exclusively in commercial and industrial environments. No domestic. No cowboy pricing. No certificate farms. Every engineer is time-served, NICEIC-registered, and works to 18th Edition BS 7671.
Full-scope electrical installation condition reports, carried out by NICEIC-approved engineers. We test every circuit, every board, every distribution point. You get a report that stands up to scrutiny.
Compliance testing
The fixed wire test is only part of the picture. RED Electrical also arranges the wider testing programme that insurers, auditors and the HSE expect — electrical and fire — delivered through our RED Connect accredited contractor network, so nothing falls between contractors and every report is ready to hand over.
Inspection and testing of the portable electrical equipment across your building, recorded so you can evidence it when asked.
Scheduled testing that proves your emergency lighting works when it's needed most, with a documented record for auditors and insurers.
Testing of your fire alarm system, plus servicing of the components that keep it working — so a fault is found on a routine visit, not when the alarm is needed.
A formal assessment of the fire risks in your building, with prioritised actions so you know exactly where you stand.
Servicing of your fire extinguishers, with the records your insurer and inspectors expect to see.
Inspection of your fire doors, so you know they'll do their job if a fire starts.
C1 and C2 defects remedied under the same contract. Distribution board upgrades, rewires, circuit additions. No passing the work to a third party.
