Electrical installations like this main distribution board need regular condition inspections
We found signs of burning on one of the main distribution boards during one five-year EICR inspection. 
If you own or manage commercial premises it's important to have an up-to-date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
 
If premises have been updated or remodelled, it's also a good idea to have a new EICR. You can then make sure you resolve any electrical issues quickly and safely. 
 
We understand that busy commercial operations need to minimise disruption. We can arrange inspection visits out of hours and at weekends to power everything down safely.

If you are moving house do you think an electrical check is included in your house buyer’s survey? Do you think it’s important? 
 
Across the country millions of properties are bought each year. According to recent figures there were almost 5,500 residential property sales in Nortamptonshire in in 2024. 
 
However, research carried out by Electrical Safety First found that only about a third of house buyers have their property’s electrics checked before they buy.
