§02Notes

For a business, electrical work has to fit around trading. Wirrelec has worked on a wide range of commercial projects, including schools and airports, and offers 24/7 emergency call outs when something goes wrong.

Compliance is part of the job: periodic testing, fire alarms and emergency lighting all need to be kept in order, and keeping them on one contractor makes that simpler.

§03Technical notes

What you need to know

3.1A compliance calendar for your building

Most of the electrical checks a business needs run on a regular cycle. Keeping them on one contractor, and on one calendar, makes it much harder for anything to lapse.

CheckTypical frequency
Fire alarm test (by you)Weekly, using a different call point each time
Emergency lighting function testMonthly
Fire alarm serviceAt least every six months
Emergency lighting full duration testAnnually
EICR for offices and shopsUsually every five years, sooner if the use changes

3.2Planning work around trading

  • Agree which areas can lose power, and when
  • Plan noisy or disruptive work outside opening hours where possible
  • Keep fire alarms and emergency lighting working throughout
  • Get certificates and test records handed over when the job is done

3.3Records you should keep

Insurers, landlords and fire safety inspectors may ask to see your electrical test certificates, fire alarm service records and emergency lighting logbook. Keep them together and up to date.
