We assist clients in Warwick to maintain their electrical wiring, lighting, electrical distribution systems and power supplies in reliable working order. Each service programme is structured around the current condition of the installation, how the site operates and the level of ongoing support needed.
Preventative maintenance through routine inspections can highlight potential problems with the electrical system, such as physical damage, wiring showing signs of overheating, etc. prior to a total failure occurring. In addition, these types of inspections provide facilities staff, landlords and “responsible” individuals with a better understanding of the electrical wiring within the premises and allow them to prioritise necessary repairs or upgrades.
Whether it is fixed wire testing, arranging regular inspections or carrying out remedial work, TEC provides an coordinated structure to support electrical safety, compliance and ongoing operations.
Planned Electrical Maintenance for Commercial and Industrial Buildings
With a planned maintenance programme in place can give commercial and industrial businesses in Warwick with better control over how they respond to electrical faults, repairs and shutdowns.
Modern workplaces rely on a variety of electrical systems in order to provide necessary services such as lighting, machinery, communication systems, security, manufacturing systems and other critical building systems. Failure to perform regular maintenance can contribute to a loss of power, emergency service calls, restrictions on operations in designated work spaces, lost productive time and higher repair costs.
An agreed maintenance plan enables scheduled visits and repairs to be carried out at times that are acceptable to all parties, including tenants, operating shifts, facility operations and engineering needs.
TEC works with property managers, facilities teams, landlords, engineers and site operators to agree an appropriate scope and visit frequency.

What Is Planned Electrical Maintenance?
Planned electrical maintenance is the organised inspection, testing and maintenance of a company’s electrical assets, as set out in a pre-agreed schedule.
This can help prevent problems caused by, but not limited to, deterioration, poor connectivity, overheating, damaged equipment or accessories and overloaded circuits, prior to them developing into a larger issue.
The scope can include:
- Inspection of all cabling & accessories
- Inspection and testing of fixed wiring & EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)
- Assessment of distribution boards and circuits
- Checks of lighting systems and emergency lighting
- Checks of switches, sockets and protective devices
- Machinery supply checks
- Essential to ensure compliance with relevant standards in respect of electrical services
- Replacement of worn components
- Small-scale remedial works
- Recommendations for future upgrades
Maintenance is the activity undertaken by an organisation (the customer) to support the continued safe operation of their electrical installations; this can include implementing preventative measures, addressing faults on existing electrical systems, and ensuring that installed electrical equipment continues to operate safely and effectively.
Planned and Preventative Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is undertaken at set intervals as per the scheduled maintenance plan, whereas planned maintenance is focused on identifying problems before they develop in an unplanned outage or failure.
The use of both services provides an alternative to relying solely on call-outs, as their combined approach can give a improved level of control over how and when the response is made.
Potential concerns can include: the deterioration of cable connections, overheating or damaged lighting components, inconsistent performance from lighting components, excessive circuit loading, damaged cables and obsolete electrical equipment which is no longer suitable for continued use.
Early recognition of such problems will allow remedial works to be treated as a priority and completed in a controlled environment.

Commercial and Industrial Maintenance Services
We offer electrical services to office blocks, shops, schools, hotels, business parks, industrial premises, warehouses and workshops throughout Warwick.
For commercial sites, there will usually be a need to have reliable lighting and/or power for staff, clients, visitors and other tenants. Site visits are likely to be arranged in accordance with your site’s normal opening times; we would also establish how you manage access to the property and any shared areas.
In terms of an industrial site, it is possible that you will have three-phase supplies, high load circuits, several pieces of distribution equipment (e.g., switchgear), plus various types of machine connections. In these cases, our work would likely need to be co-ordinated against the shift rosters of your personnel, planned shutdowns, as well as potentially different areas of the building which are in use during working hours.
TEC can provide support with:
- Machinery power supplies
- Industrial distribution equipment
- Warehouse and factory lighting
- Wiring within production areas
- Alterations for new equipment may require professional electrical services to ensure compliance with safety standards.
- Power requirements for expansion
Our electricians coordinate with facilities teams, engineers and other trades where collaboration is required.

Planned Electrical Maintenance - Benefits and Risks
Select a topic to compare the advantages of a structured maintenance programme with the risks of allowing defects to remain unnoticed until something fails.
Earlier Identification of Electrical Safety Concerns
Routine inspections can reveal deterioration, loose connections, heat damage and defective accessories before they create a more serious hazard.
- Developing defects can be identified before failure.
- Damaged components can be isolated and replaced safely.
- Testing provides clearer evidence of installation condition.
Deterioration May Remain Undetected
Loose connections, damaged accessories and ageing equipment may not become apparent until they cause overheating, an outage or an unsafe condition.
- Hazards may only be discovered after equipment fails.
- Damage can spread to nearby components or circuits.
- Urgent isolation may affect occupied or operational areas.
What Does it Cost to Have Planned Electrical Services?
There is not one fixed price for planned electrical maintenance in Warwick, as the level of work that’s needed can vary significantly, depending on the property, its access, availability and other factors.
The level of support you’ll need for a small office with straightforward accessibility and a new electrical system will likely be very different to what you would need for a factory with many machines, high light levels and multiple main switchboards (distribution boards).
Factors that typically influence pricing are:
- Size and type of your building
- Type and age of the electrical system in the building
- Extent of main circuitry and distribution equipment
- Equipment being installed or replaced
- Frequency of visits to the site
- Any testing requirements included within the scope
- The level of access available to the areas being worked on
- Whether the work needs to be carried out when the site is not normally operating
TEC agrees the proposed scope before providing a quotation, so the client can see what is included and whether replacement materials, larger repairs or call-outs will be charged separately.
When reviewing quotes from multiple companies, the customer’s considerations should take into account several areas other than simply looking at the lowest quoted price per year. These include: the scope of inspection, how frequently inspections will occur (visit frequency), the type of documentation provided, how quickly the company will respond to issues and deliver remediation support.

Am I Legally Obliged?
The UK has no legal requirement for a single maintenance contract, nor a common schedule for all commercial properties. Employers and others who are responsible for their workplace electrical equipment and systems have a legal responsibility under statute to minimise electrical hazards and prevent electrical danger.
Regulation 4(2) of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 requires electrical systems to be maintained, where necessary to prevent danger, so far as is reasonably practicable. A planned programme is one practical way of supporting that duty by checking the installation, documenting its condition and organising necessary repairs.
The correct scope should reflect the kind of building or facility (type of premise), the general condition of the installed wiring, how each piece of equipment is used, any past inspection or testing results from prior evaluations, any relevant information provided by the manufacturer regarding maintenance or servicing and potential damage if equipment fails.
There are particular regulations for certain types of facilities, including those with unique electrical service needs. In addition, current UK government guidance requires electrical installations in private and social rented properties in England to be subject to inspection and testing by a properly qualified person at least every five years.
Fixed Wire Testing and Electrical Records
Fixed wire testing helps establish whether an installation remains suitable for continued use and whether defects require attention.
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) reports. These should be completed by a certified professional to guarantee that the installation meets all safety standards, as well as being in full working order
- Fixed wiring periodic tests
- Distribution Board and Circuit checks
- Emergency Lighting Inspections
- Alterations post inspection Testing
- Testing Following Remedial Works after an EICR report has been completed.
An EICR records the state of the electrical installation as it is seen during the inspection visit. It will also identify any damage or deterioration affecting the electrical installation, together with any dangerous or potentially hazardous electrical situations that may be identified.
Our NICEIC-approved contractors will complete and issue all required documentation for every job we complete. This will help facility managers and landlords to retain a documented history for audits, insurance purposes and other requirements, as well as being able to provide this information to their tenants.
Build a Suggested Electrical Maintenance Programme
Select the type of premises, systems requiring support and practical site requirements. The builder will produce a suggested maintenance scope which can be sent directly to TEC with your enquiry.
Supporting Business Continuity and Reducing Disruption
Organisations incorporate planned maintenance as part of their continuity planning to schedule work, where possible, prior to failures occurring in critical systems.
An unplanned failure can result in an interruption to various areas such as lighting, machinery, computers, access control systems, refrigeration units, security equipment and other critical systems. The impact of even a short outage can be significant in terms of customer service levels, productivity, manufacturing and other day-to-day operations.
A structured approach helps ensure that quieter operating periods can be used effectively to schedule and organise work; make preparations for electrical isolation; advise impacted teams; order required parts; and support the coordination of multiple trade personnel.
Inspection and repair work are typically undertaken within occupied commercial/industrial buildings or live industrial facilities. In many cases, work will be phased and, where necessary, individual circuit(s) will be isolated. More intrusive work may be scheduled to take place outside of “core” working hours.
Before a full outage, where possible, we will meet with the customer’s management team to establish which areas will be affected, and what type of access limitations customers should expect.
Do You Need Reactive, Planned or Combined Electrical Support?
Answer five quick questions to identify the maintenance approach that may be most suitable for your premises.
Maintenance of Multiple Locations
TEC are able to provide a service that supports landlords, facilities managers and other multi-site users across Warwick with their electrical compliance on a much larger scale than we do now as individual sites.
Using a coordinated system will help reduce the amount of time required by an individual site owner/operator in relation to booking visits, arranging tenant access, managing records, identifying defects and undertaking remedial works.
Each property is still assessed individually because the use, age and condition of its installation may differ.
Arrange a Maintenance Contract
A structured agreement can provide greater oversight of your electrical infrastructure, reduce avoidable disruption and make future work easier to organise.
TEC can review your premises in Warwick, discuss the current arrangements and recommend a suitable level of support.
Contact TEC to discuss your requirements and arrange a quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about planned electrical maintenance contractors, service agreements, scheduled inspections, remedial work and requesting a quotation from TEC.
A planned electrical maintenance contractor inspects, tests and maintains electrical infrastructure at agreed intervals. The contractor may also complete remedial work, investigate recurring faults and recommend future improvements.
The scope may cover fixed wiring, lighting, distribution equipment, protective devices, minor repairs, reporting and recommendations.
The agreement should explain whether materials, emergency attendance and out-of-hours work are included or charged separately.
No. Electrical components can still fail unexpectedly.
A suitable maintenance programme can identify many signs of deterioration, damage and overheating earlier, allowing repairs to be organised before a more serious problem develops.
Where suitable arrangements can be made, work may be organised around opening hours, production shifts or periods of lower activity.
Any required isolation or machinery shutdown should be agreed in advance wherever practicable.
Provide details about the property, its use, operating hours, known faults and existing inspection reports.
It is also useful to identify critical equipment, access restrictions, preferred visit times and whether support is required across several locations.
