A single NICEIC-approved contractor for multi-site EICR programmes, planned electrical PPM and 24/7 emergency cover — built for property and facilities managers who need consistent paperwork across every site in the portfolio.
Across the facilities managers, property managers and building services managers we speak to, the request is consistent: one contractor across the portfolio, one paperwork format on every site, one escalation route when something fails out of hours. The reality on the ground is fragmented: a different sub-contractor at each site, EICRs in three different formats, certificates missing the engineer's signature on page one, and a different phone number to ring when a distribution board trips at 02:00. The cost of that fragmentation isn't the engineer's hourly rate. It's the audit trail, the insurer query, and the hours your team spends chasing certificates instead of running the estate.
A planned programme starts with a portfolio review: site count, current EICR cycle position by site, communal-area scope, fire-alarm interfaces, EV charging points, and any known C2s still open. From there we set the 5-year cadence, batch sites by postcode and tenant access window, and route every certificate into a single evidence pack per site. Reporting comes back in one format across the portfolio — same observation codes, same remedial schedule layout, same engineer-signed page one — so your finance, compliance and insurance teams aren't reconciling three formats. Certified and tested under our NICEIC scheme registration on every visit.
Compliance is the floor. The work that keeps a site running is planned PPM: emergency-lighting tests, thermographic surveys of distribution boards, RCD testing, fire-alarm electrical interfaces, EV charging-point checks, and the small-works programme that closes minor observations before they escalate. A planned programme batches that work efficiently — one engineer visit covers EICR cycle work plus PPM tasks scheduled for the same window — and means the site isn't carrying multiple appointments per quarter. Part P compliant where the work touches a building's fixed wiring; Leeds-based team handling the schedule.
Every site gets a consistent evidence pack: the EICR with all observations coded (C1, C2, C3, FI) and a time-bound remedial schedule, the schedule of inspections and tests, the schedule of items inspected, photographs of any C1 or C2 finding, the remedial works quotation, the PPM task records for the cycle, and the Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate that closes any remediation loop. The pack format is identical across every site you instruct, so the portfolio file is searchable rather than a folder of inconsistent PDFs. That is what an insurer reads. That is what an audit asks for. Independent verification on both sides of the work via dual NICEIC + Which? accreditation.
EICR pricing starts at £150 plus VAT for properties up to six final circuits, plus £20 per additional circuit. Larger commercial sites are quoted on survey — distribution-board count, sub-mains, emergency lighting and fire-alarm interfaces drive the figure. PPM contracts are quoted as fixed annual programmes against an agreed task schedule, framed under the No Surprises Pricing Guarantee: the price doesn't change unless the scope changes. For portfolio agreements we'll fix per-site rates for the cycle so finance can plan rather than chase change orders. Free, no-obligation quote on the whole portfolio after the initial review.
A planned programme doesn't remove the out-of-hours call. When a distribution board trips on a managed site at 22:30 and three tenants are dark, the same Leeds-based team is on the rota. Available 24/7 with a real engineer answering the line, not an answering service. The on-call engineer has the site file in front of them — schematic, last EICR, known observations — so the response starts with context, not with a cold survey. For service-critical sites we'll set up named-engineer cover and an SLA on attendance time.
The strongest argument for consolidating an electrical contract is the evidence trail. One scheme registration on every certificate. One reporting format on every site. One escalation route on every callout. Dual NICEIC + Which? accreditation is rare among local contractors — most hold one, not both. £10M public liability cover, full commercial-plus-domestic-plus-EV capability under one contractor, and a Leeds postcode on the engineer answering the phone. That combination is what closes a portfolio decision — consistency, accountability and documentation that survives audit.
Yes — multi-site portfolios across Leeds, West Yorkshire, Harrogate and Wakefield are in scope (postcodes LS1–LS29, WF1–WF17, HG1–HG5). The portfolio review at the start sets the cycle, the batching strategy by postcode, and the reporting format. Sites outside that radius we'll be transparent about — either we handle them via the Leeds-based team or we'll flag where a sub-contracted partner would fit.
An inspection contractor turns up, tests, leaves a certificate and waits to be called again. A programme contractor sets the cycle across your portfolio, schedules every site against tenant access and PPM windows, batches works to keep travel and disruption low, and reports in a single format across the estate. The difference shows up in audit time and in how often you ring a contractor between visits.
Yes. PPM scope includes emergency-lighting testing, thermographic distribution-board surveys, RCD testing, fire-alarm electrical interfaces, EV charging-point checks and small-works programmes that close minor EICR observations. PPM is typically batched with EICR cycle visits to reduce site disruption and quoted as a fixed annual programme.
Each EICR pack includes the certificate signed on page one by the testing engineer, observations coded against BS 7671, a time-bound remedial schedule, schedules of inspections and items inspected, photographs of C1 and C2 findings, the remedial works quotation, and — once remediation completes — the Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate that closes the loop. Format is consistent across every site.
Yes — both fall under the same NICEIC-approved electrical contract. EV charging points at managed sites are tested as part of the EICR cycle. Emergency-lighting is tested on its statutory cadence (monthly visual, annual 3-hour discharge) and recorded against the same site file. Combining the scope under one contractor is the single biggest reason FMs consolidate the electrical contract.
