Commercial Electrical Contractors

Electrical work sits behind almost every commercial maintenance programme: periodic inspection and testing, distribution board upgrades, emergency lighting, communal and landlord supplies, and the reactive faults that interrupt normal building operation.

How the network helps

Source electricians contractors with commercial experience.

Regency Contractors Network helps facilities managers, property managers and managing agents search for electrical contractors with commercial experience, then review their profile, coverage and supporting business information before making contact.

What buyers may look for

Checks worth making before appointment.

Depending on the work involved, buyers may look for contractors operating within recognised electrical certification schemes and able to issue appropriate certification for inspection, testing and installation work. Requirements vary with the building and the scope, so credentials should always be reviewed against the specific project.

  • 01Membership of a recognised electrical competent person or certification scheme, where relevant to the work
  • 02Experience on comparable commercial or communal installations, not solely domestic work
  • 03Public liability insurance at a level appropriate to the property and contract
  • 04Sample certification, such as EICR or electrical installation certificates, from recent commercial work
  • 05Health and safety documentation, including risk assessments and method statements for the planned task
  • 06Capacity to support both planned testing programmes and reactive call-outs if that is the requirement
Reactive and planned

Both sides of the maintenance calendar.

Electrical contractors are frequently needed on both sides of a maintenance programme: scheduled inspection and testing under a planned regime, and urgent attendance when a fault affects supply or safety. Regency supports both patterns of demand.
