OUR SERVICES
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection and test of your entire electrical installation. It assesses whether the installation is safe, identifies any defects or non-compliance, and classifies findings by severity. An EICR is a legal requirement for many commercial landlords and is expected by most insurers. We carry out EICR testing and inspection on all types of commercial and industrial premises across Preston. See our EICR Testing and Inspection page.
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the inspection and testing of electrical appliances in the workplace. While not a strict legal requirement in every case, PAT testing is widely recognised as part of a responsible approach to electrical safety in the workplace and is required by many insurers and landlords. We carry out PAT testing for commercial and industrial clients across Preston. More on our Portable Appliance Testing page.
A thermal imaging survey uses infrared cameras to identify hot spots in electrical installations that are not visible to the naked eye. Heat is one of the first signs of an electrical fault developing. Catching it early prevents equipment failures, fires, and costly unplanned downtime. Our engineers carry out thermal imaging surveys on switchgear, distribution boards, and cable runs at commercial and industrial premises across Preston. See our Thermal Imaging Survey page.
Our Infrared Electrical Inspection service goes beyond a standard thermal survey, providing a detailed analysis of the thermal data collected from your installation. We identify specific fault conditions, assess severity, and produce a clear report with photographic evidence and prioritised recommendations. This level of inspection is particularly valuable for large industrial installations in Preston where unplanned downtime carries significant cost. Read more on our Infrared Electrical Inspection page.
Fixed Wire Testing refers to the testing of the fixed electrical installation in a building, specifically the wiring, distribution boards, and connected equipment that is permanently installed. It is a core element of the EICR process and is also carried out as a standalone service for specific parts of an installation. We carry out fixed wire testing at commercial and industrial premises across Preston and Lancashire. See our Fixed Wire Testing page.
After any electrical installation, alteration, or test, the correct certification must be issued. We provide Electrical Installation Certificates, Minor Works Certificates, and EICR reports for all work we carry out across Preston. Our NICEIC registration means every certificate we issue is backed by independent third-party oversight. We also help clients understand their ongoing certification obligations and schedule testing programmes to keep their premises compliant year on year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a commercial premises in Preston need an EICR?
For commercial and industrial premises in Preston, an EICR is generally recommended every five years, or more frequently if the installation is subject to heavy use or is in a particularly demanding environment. Some insurers and landlords may specify a shorter interval. Walker Electrical Developments can advise on the right testing programme for your premises.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement for businesses in Preston?
PAT testing is not a specific legal requirement in every case, but employers have a duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to ensure electrical equipment is maintained in a safe condition. PAT testing is widely recognised as a practical way to demonstrate compliance with this duty. Walker Electrical Developments provides PAT testing for commercial and industrial clients across Preston.
What does a thermal imaging survey show for an industrial site near Preston?
A thermal imaging survey identifies hot spots in your electrical installation that indicate developing faults such as loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing components, or poor contact in switchgear. These faults can cause fires and equipment failures if left undetected. Walker Electrical Developments carries out thermal imaging surveys at industrial and commercial sites across Preston and Lancashire.
