Fixed wire testing in Colchester

Colchester is Britain's oldest recorded town and now a city, with a commercial base spread across the Severalls and Cowdray business parks, the Hythe and Whitehall industrial areas, Tollgate retail park at Stanway and the town centre. The University of Essex campus at Wivenhoe Park, Colchester Hospital and the Colchester Garrison are large estates in their own right, and the surrounding area takes in Clacton, Harwich and the Tendring coast. We work extensively across all of these and attend as soon as possible, at a time that suits your operation. For the wider county see our Essex fixed wire testing page.

02

Sites and sectors we test in Colchester

Our Colchester work covers offices and business park units, retail at Tollgate and in the town centre, schools and academies, care homes, hospitality on the coast, port related premises at Harwich and the warehousing and workshop units at Severalls, the Hythe and Whitehall. Older town centre buildings with heavily altered installations are common here, so we take extra care to trace undocumented circuits.

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.
