Frequently asked questions

How much does fixed wire testing cost in Reading?

Commercial fixed wire testing (a commercial EICR) in Reading starts from £199 + VAT for small premises. Larger sites are priced on distribution boards and circuits and you receive a fixed written quotation that states whether every circuit is tested.

How often is fixed wire testing required?

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require installations to be maintained in a safe condition. Guidance in BS 7671 and IET Guidance Note 3 recommends five-yearly testing for offices, shops and hotels, three-yearly for industrial premises and places of entertainment, and annual testing for swimming pools and similar high-risk locations.

Can testing be done without disrupting the business?

Yes. Testing in Reading is planned board by board, with out-of-hours and weekend sessions available so critical circuits are only isolated when it suits the site.

What happens if the EICR is unsatisfactory?

Any C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous) or FI (further investigation) observation makes the report unsatisfactory. Each observation is explained in plain English with a prioritised, itemised remedial quotation so you can decide how to proceed. C3 observations are recommendations and do not cause a fail.

Are your Reading electricians NICEIC approved?

Yes. Polarity Electrics London Ltd is an NICEIC Approved Contractor (#602034000) and every report is completed to BS 7671:2018+A3:2024 by a qualified, competent inspector.
