Commercial Electrician in Peterborough — Compliance Is the Whole Job
NICEIC Approved Contractor for inspection, testing, certification and remedial works across Peterborough's offices, retail and industrial premises. Fixed quotes, usually within the hour.

Search for a commercial electrician in Peterborough and you'll find plenty of firms who will run a new circuit or swap a fitting. LS Elec does something narrower, and does it properly: electrical compliance for commercial premises. Inspection, testing, certification and the remedial works that follow — delivered by an NICEIC Approved Contractor that works with facilities managers, property managers and business owners every day.
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the duty to keep your electrical systems safe sits with you, the employer or duty holder — and it never expires. A current EICR, tested emergency lighting and a maintained fire alarm system are how you evidence that duty. We keep all three in order, on one schedule, with one point of contact.
We work across the city and its surroundings: industrial units at Fengate, offices at Lynch Wood and Orton Southgate, retail in the centre, and the business parks growing alongside Peterborough's commuter estates. Fixed quotes, usually within the hour.

Commercial EICRs that stand up to scrutiny
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is only useful if it is thorough, coded correctly and explained in plain English. Our engineers inspect and test every circuit against BS 7671 (18th Edition), then hand you a report you can actually act on: C1 and C2 observations flagged clearly, C3 improvements listed separately, and a straightforward summary of what needs doing, in what order.
We carry out EICRs for offices, retail units, warehouses and industrial premises — including three-phase installations and older buildings where the paperwork trail has gone cold. If your last report is missing or out of date, that is a normal starting point, not a problem.
Defects fixed by the firm that found them
A report full of coded observations is worthless if the contractor hands it over and disappears. When an EICR comes back unsatisfactory, we price the remedial works and carry them out ourselves — from re-terminating a single circuit to replacing a full distribution board. One firm, one thread of accountability, one updated certificate at the end.
We also use thermal imaging inspections to find what a visual check cannot: overloaded connections, failing terminations and unbalanced loads that show up as heat long before they show up as downtime.
Emergency lighting and fire alarms, kept genuinely compliant
Emergency lighting is tested to BS 5266 and fire alarm systems to BS 5839 — with certificates issued and logbooks completed, not luminaires glanced at on the way past. For schools, care homes and any premises with sleeping risk, this documentation is precisely what an inspector or insurer will ask to see first.
We can fold both into your EICR schedule, so everything is tested, certificated and renewed together rather than by three different contractors on three different dates.
Testing that fits around trading hours, not through them
Dead testing means isolating circuits, and isolating circuits means disruption — unless it is planned properly. We test out of hours where the business needs it: evenings for retail, weekends for offices, shutdown windows for industrial units. You open as normal the next morning.
For facilities and property managers, our planned maintenance programmes put every site on one calendar. We track renewal dates, schedule work ahead of expiry and hold your certification centrally, so an audit request becomes an email rather than an excavation.

FAQ
Good questions we hear a lot
Do commercial premises legally need an EICR?
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require employers and duty holders to maintain electrical systems, so far as reasonably practicable, to prevent danger. The regulations don't name the EICR specifically, but a current, satisfactory report is the accepted way to demonstrate you've met that duty — to the HSE, your insurer and anyone else who asks.
Can you test outside our trading hours?
Yes. Inspection and testing involves isolating circuits, so we routinely work evenings, weekends and planned shutdown windows. Tell us when the building is quiet and we'll build the programme around it.
What happens if our report comes back unsatisfactory?
You'll get a clear list of coded observations and a fixed quote for the remedial works. We carry out the remediation ourselves — anything from a single re-termination to a distribution board replacement — and issue the certification confirming the installation is satisfactory once complete.
We manage several buildings. Can you consolidate our compliance?
That's exactly what our planned maintenance programmes are for. We put EICRs, emergency lighting and fire alarm testing for every site on a single schedule, track the renewal dates and hold your certificates centrally, so nothing lapses between contractors.
