When the electrics in a commercial property fail, it costs you trading time, and if they are not maintained and certified, it can cost you your compliance too. Whether you run premises, manage a portfolio, or are a commercial landlord with a legal duty to keep installations safe, you want one NICEIC-approved electrician who can both prevent problems and fix them fast. GFL Electrical provide planned and reactive commercial electrical maintenance across East London.
Our commercial maintenance service
We cover the two halves of keeping a commercial property safe and running:
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM)
- Commercial EICRs — periodic inspection and testing of fixed installations to BS 7671
- Emergency lighting testing to keep escape routes compliant
- PAT testing of portable appliances
- Fire alarm checks and coordination with your alarm system
- Scheduled inspections that catch deterioration before it causes failure
Reactive maintenance
- 24/7 emergency call-outs and fast fault-finding
- On-the-spot repairs and part replacements
- Minor works and alterations as your premises change
A planned approach lets you spread costs, manage risk, and use inspection data to plan upgrades — rather than only paying when something breaks.
Why choose GFL Electrical
- NICEIC approved — commercial work certified to UK standards, with documentation that stands up to audits and insurers.
- One contractor for planned and reactive — testing, certification, and emergency cover from the same team.
- Minimal disruption — we schedule planned work around your trading hours, including out of hours.
- Around 40 years of combined experience across commercial and domestic work.
For commercial landlords
Commercial landlords have a legal duty to ensure the electrical installations within their control are safe and maintained — regardless of building age or tenancy structure. The most effective way to meet it is a planned preventative maintenance programme: regular EICRs and testing, with the results used to plan upgrades and spread costs over time. We can set up and run that programme for you across a single site or a portfolio.
How it works
- Tell us about the premises — type, size, and whether you want planned cover, reactive support, or both.
- We propose a maintenance schedule — EICR intervals, emergency lighting and PAT testing, and a reactive call-out arrangement.
- We carry out the work — scheduled around your operation, with clear certification.
- We keep you compliant — records and reminders so nothing lapses.
What it costs
Commercial maintenance is quoted to the premises and the scope — the size of the installation, how many appliances and emergency lights, and whether you want a planned programme or pay-as-you-go reactive cover. We will assess your site and give you a clear proposal. Individual elements like EICRs, PAT testing, and fire and smoke alarms can also be booked standalone.
Areas we cover
We provide commercial electrical maintenance across East London — Leyton, Walthamstow, Leytonstone, and the surrounding boroughs including Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, and Redbridge. See our areas page or ask when you get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
What’s included in commercial electrical maintenance? Typically planned testing (EICRs, emergency lighting, PAT, fire alarm checks) plus reactive support (24/7 call-outs, fault-finding, repairs, minor works) — and we can provide either or both.
How often does a commercial property need an EICR? Commercial EICR intervals depend on the installation and use, and are recommended by the inspecting electrician; many commercial premises are inspected more frequently than homes. We’ll advise based on your site.
Do commercial landlords legally have to maintain the electrics? Yes — commercial landlords have a duty to keep the electrical installations within their control safe and maintained, regardless of building age or tenancy. A planned maintenance programme is the practical way to meet it.
Can you work outside our opening hours? Yes — we schedule planned maintenance around your trading hours, including evenings and weekends, to minimise disruption.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency cover for businesses? Yes — reactive call-outs and fast fault-finding around the clock.
Can you handle a portfolio of properties? Yes — we can run a maintenance programme across multiple sites with consolidated records and scheduling.
