Commercial Compliance Inspections Birmingham NICEIC Approved
Commercial compliance inspections Birmingham businesses trust for workplace electrical testing, fire alarm verification, and emergency lighting compliance. You'll receive thorough commercial EICR reports from NICEIC Approved Contractors, keeping your premises regulation-ready and protecting staff across Birmingham's commercial sector.
Why Birmingham Businesses Need Regular Workplace Electrical Testing
Workplace electrical testing keeps your Birmingham commercial premises legally compliant with Health and Safety Executive requirements whilst protecting employees, customers, and your business reputation. Unlike domestic inspections, commercial testing involves higher-risk environments with three-phase supplies, complex distribution boards, and specialist systems like emergency lighting and fire alarms that require dedicated compliance checks. Whether you're running a city centre café, a Jewellery Quarter workshop, or a Solihull retail unit, regular testing identifies hazards before they cause injuries, fires, or enforcement action from local authorities.

We test every fire alarm call point, sounder, and control panel to confirm detection speed, alarm audibility, and panel functionality meet BS 5839 standards for your workplace environment.
Emergency Lighting Duration Tests
All emergency lighting units undergo full discharge testing to verify three-hour battery duration, correct illumination levels, and automatic failover operation during mains power interruption scenarios.
Access Control and Security Checks
We verify your access control systems, magnetic locks, and security interlocks operate reliably with proper fail-safe modes, ensuring building security and emergency egress compliance.

Café Owner, Birmingham City Centre
“Needed our café tested before the lease renewal and they fitted us in within three days. The inspector came at 6am before we opened, tested everything including our fire alarm and emergency lights, and left us with all the certificates our landlord needed. No disruption to service at all.”
