Commercial Electrician Liverpool — Questions
Straight answers to what Liverpool business owners ask most.
LEGALDo I legally need an EICR for my business premises?
Yes. Under the HSE Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, all employers must ensure their electrical systems are safe and properly maintained. A periodic electrical inspection (commercial EICR) is the standard method of demonstrating compliance. The recommended frequency depends on your premises type — typically every 5 years for offices and retail, every 3 years for industrial premises. Some insurers require more frequent inspection as a condition of cover.
HOURSCan you carry out commercial work outside business hours?
Yes. We regularly carry out commercial electrical work overnight and at weekends to avoid disrupting trading hours. We have done overnight fit-outs ahead of opening days, weekend rewires of office floors and out-of-hours EICR inspections across Liverpool. Weekend rates apply (£120/hr) but there is no additional surcharge for scheduling outside Monday to Friday.
PREMIUMDo you charge more for commercial jobs?
No. We charge the same hourly rates for commercial work as we do for residential. Weekdays £80/hr, weekends £120/hr, out of hours £150/hr. For larger projects we provide a fixed written quote before any work begins. There is no commercial premium added to our rates.
