What electrical maintenance covers
Electrical systems don’t look after themselves. Regular maintenance keeps your installation safe, compliant and running as it should — and catches small faults before they turn into expensive breakdowns or downtime. Whether you run a busy commercial site or manage rental properties, we’ll build a maintenance plan around how you actually use the building.
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
Planned maintenance is scheduled work that keeps everything in good order and your certification up to date. A typical plan includes:
- Fixed-wire testing and EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)
- Emergency lighting inspection and testing
- Portable appliance testing (PAT)
- Thermal imaging of distribution boards to catch hotspots early
- Remedial works to put right anything that fails
Reactive maintenance & 24/7 call-out
When something goes wrong, you need it sorted fast. Our reactive maintenance service covers fault-finding, breakdowns and genuine emergencies, with a 24/7 call-out so you’re never left in the dark — one call and a qualified electrician is on the way.
Who we look after
We maintain electrics for all sorts of customers across Dorset and Hampshire — landlords and HMO managers, offices and retail units, warehouses and commercial and industrial premises, and care homes and schools. If you’re responsible for a building, we’ll take the electrical side off your plate.
Staying safe and compliant
Keeping on top of maintenance isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal duty. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be maintained, so far as is reasonably practicable, to prevent danger — with work carried out to BS 7671. Staying on top of it protects your people, keeps your insurance valid and avoids the cost of unplanned downtime.

Electrical maintenance FAQs
What does electrical maintenance involve?
Regular inspection, testing and servicing of your electrical installation — from EICRs and emergency-light testing to checking distribution boards, tightening connections and repairing faults — to keep everything safe, reliable and compliant.
Do businesses have to maintain their electrics?
Yes — under the Electricity at Work Regulations, employers and duty-holders must keep electrical systems safe and maintained. Regular maintenance and EICRs are how you demonstrate that.
What’s the difference between planned and reactive maintenance?
Planned (preventative) maintenance is scheduled work that catches problems before they cause failures; reactive maintenance is fixing faults when they happen. Most clients use a mix — we offer both.
Do you carry out EICRs and PAT testing?
Yes — fixed-wire testing (EICRs) and portable appliance testing (PAT) are both part of our maintenance offering, and we’ll advise on the right intervals for your premises.
Do you cover homes as well as businesses?
We do — from homeowners wanting peace of mind to landlords, letting agents and commercial clients, we tailor a maintenance approach to the property.
