Fixed Wire Testing Across Cambridge

Fixed wire testing in Cambridge

Cambridge has one of the most specialised commercial estates in the country. The Cambridge Science Park, St John's Innovation Park, the Biomedical Campus around Addenbrooke's Hospital, Granta Park and the Babraham Research Campus house laboratories and technology companies with demanding electrical installations, while the university colleges and departments occupy some of the oldest buildings we work in. Around them sit conventional offices, retail at the Grafton and Grand Arcade, and industrial units in Cherry Hinton, Milton and along the A14. We work extensively across all of these and attend as soon as possible, at a time that suits your operation.

Sites and sectors we test in Cambridge

Laboratory and research premises need careful planning: uninterrupted supplies for freezers, fume cupboards and equipment, and isolation windows agreed in advance. We test these alongside college and university buildings, offices and business parks, schools, care homes, retail and the warehouse and workshop units on the A14 and A10 corridors. Listed and historic buildings are a particular feature of our Cambridge work.

About fixed wire testing and EICRs

Fixed wire testing, formally an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), is the periodic inspection and testing of a building's permanent wiring, distribution boards, protective devices, earthing and bonding. It is how duty holders demonstrate that an installation is being maintained safely under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and most insurers, landlords and accreditation schemes expect to see a current report. Observations are coded C1, C2, C3 or FI so that anything dangerous is dealt with first. For a full explanation of what the inspection involves, how often different buildings should be tested and what the codes mean, see our main Fixed Wire Testing service page.
