Planned maintenance
One contractor, one schedule, one set of records
An electrical maintenance contract puts testing, inspections and routine checks on a planned footing for your building or portfolio. We agree what is due and when, carry out the visits, set out any remedial work for you to approve, and keep the certificates and visit reports together, so facilities managers, landlords and on-site teams are not chasing dates or paperwork.

What is included
What a maintenance contract covers
A typical planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contract can include:
Planned maintenance visits
Regular visits agreed with you to check, maintain and record the installation, so problems are found early rather than after a failure.
Periodic inspection and testing (EICRs)
Commercial EICRs booked before they fall due, with a clear report and any remedial items set out for you to approve.
Distribution board checks
Boards checked for condition, labelling and circuit charts, with any concerns reported clearly.
Lighting and emergency lighting checks
Failed lamps and fittings replaced during planned visits, with monthly function tests and the annual full-duration emergency lighting test logged.
Remedial works
Remedial work from inspection or testing is quoted separately and clearly, so you can approve what goes ahead.
Record keeping and compliance paperwork
EICRs, emergency lighting certificates, logbooks and visit reports kept together and sent to you after each visit.
A single point of contact
One contact for every site and every visit, who knows your buildings and your schedule.
Work planned around the business
Access, isolations and visit times are agreed in advance. Our normal hours are Monday to Friday, 6am to 5pm, and work outside those hours can be arranged.
Fire alarm servicing can be included, arranged through our fire alarm partner, with any associated electrical work carried out by us. See fire alarms for more.
Compliance schedule
Your compliance schedule, planned for you
We start by looking at what you already have: your last EICRs, emergency lighting records and any outstanding remedial work. From that we set out a compliance schedule showing what is due, where and when.
Visits are booked in advance, so testing is done before it falls due. Several sites sit on one schedule with the same reporting. See testing and compliance for more on commercial EICRs.
Emergency lighting
Emergency lighting, tested and logged
Emergency lighting needs a quick function test every month and a full-duration test once a year. We carry out the tests, keep the logbook up to date and replace failed fittings, so your records are ready when your insurer or fire risk assessor asks.
Where fittings are old or the layout no longer suits the building, we can recommend LED and emergency lighting upgrades.
Repairs and remedials
Repairs and remedial work
When something fails between visits, we find the cause, put it right and add it to your records. See repairs and maintenance for the fault finding work we do.
Remedial work from an EICR is quoted against each code, so you can see what is urgent and what can be planned. Where a board is old or full, we can carry out the board upgrade as well.

FAQs
Common questions
What is an electrical maintenance contract?
It is a planned arrangement for checking, testing and maintaining the fixed electrical installation on a schedule agreed with you, with certificates and visit reports kept for your records. It is aimed at commercial and industrial premises rather than one-off reactive call-outs.
What does planned preventative maintenance (PPM) include?
Typical PPM cover includes planned visits, distribution board checks, lighting and emergency lighting checks, periodic inspection and testing (EICRs) when due, remedial work quoted for approval, and a single point of contact with paperwork kept in one place.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across multiple sites in Leicester, Leicestershire and the East Midlands, with one schedule, one point of contact and the same records for every site. That suits facilities managers, landlords and multi-site businesses.
How are visits planned around the business?
Access, isolations and visit times are agreed with you in advance. Our normal hours are Monday to Friday, 6am to 5pm, and work outside those hours can be arranged to keep disruption down for offices, retail units, factories and other commercial premises.
Do you carry out commercial EICRs as part of a contract?
Yes. Commercial EICRs can be booked into the schedule before they fall due. You get a clear report, and any remedial items are quoted separately so you can decide what to approve. See our testing and compliance page for more detail.
Who are electrical maintenance contracts for?
They are for commercial and industrial clients: offices, units, factories, retail premises, landlords, property managers and facilities teams who want testing and maintenance on a planned footing with clear paperwork.
