We understand that electrical problems in a commercial environment cost your business time and money. Our electricians respond quickly, work efficiently, and minimise disruption to your operations. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical callouts for commercial clients across London.

NICEIC Approved Commercial Electricians in London
Commercial electrical installations are more complex and carry greater responsibilities than domestic work. Commercial premises must comply with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which place a legal duty on employers and property owners to ensure electrical systems and equipment are safe and properly maintained.
As a NICEIC approved contractor, Ideal Electricians meets the highest standards of technical competence and electrical safety. NICEIC approval gives you confidence that our electricians are qualified, experienced, and regularly assessed to ensure they consistently deliver safe electrical work.
Our NICEIC approval means we can self-certify notifiable electrical work with Building Control on your behalf, saving you the time and cost of arranging a third-party inspection.

Our Commercial Electrical Services in London
Ideal Electricians provides a comprehensive range of commercial electrical services across London, covering new installations, maintenance, upgrades, testing, and emergency repairs. Whatever your commercial electrical requirement, our team has the expertise to complete the work safely, on time, and within budget.
Commercial Power Installation
We design and install electrical power systems for new commercial premises, fit-outs, and refurbishments. Our services include single-phase and three-phase power installation, distribution board installation and upgrade, circuit installation for machinery and equipment, socket installation, and all associated cabling and containment work. All power installations are designed to current BS 7671 standards and fully tested and certificated on completion.
Commercial Wiring and Rewiring
Old, damaged, or overloaded wiring in commercial premises is a serious fire and safety risk. We provide complete rewiring services for commercial properties including offices, retail units, restaurants, and industrial premises. Our electricians carry out a thorough inspection before work begins and provide a full condition report. All rewiring is carried out with minimal disruption to your business, and we can work outside normal business hours where required.
Emergency Commercial Electrical Repairs – 24/7
Electrical faults can bring your business to a standstill. Our 24-hour emergency electricians respond rapidly to commercial electrical emergencies across London including complete power failures, tripping distribution boards, damaged circuits, electrical faults on essential equipment, and any other urgent electrical problem affecting your premises.
We aim to be on site within two hours of your call for genuine commercial electrical emergencies. Our vans carry a comprehensive stock of parts, allowing most faults to be repaired in a single visit.
Distribution Board Installation and Upgrade
An adequately sized and properly maintained distribution board (DB) is essential for the safe and reliable operation of your commercial electrical system. Older distribution boards with rewirable fuses or early MCB panels may not provide the protection levels required by current regulations and may be insufficient for your current electrical load.
We install and upgrade commercial distribution boards to modern units with correctly rated MCBs, RCDs, and RCBOs as required by BS 7671. We can also install sub-distribution boards for large premises, and carry out load balancing to ensure circuits are correctly distributed across phases.
Commercial Lighting Installation and Upgrade
Lighting is one of the most significant electrical costs for any commercial business. We design and install energy-efficient LED lighting systems for offices, retail units, warehouses, restaurants, and all types of commercial premises. LED lighting reduces energy consumption by up to 70% compared to older fluorescent systems and requires significantly less maintenance.
Our lighting services include: LED retrofit and replacement, new circuit installation, emergency lighting, external security lighting, display lighting for retail, and lighting control systems including PIR sensors, daylight harvesting controls, and DALI dimmable systems.
Emergency Lighting Installation
Emergency lighting is a legal requirement in all commercial premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS 5266. It must illuminate escape routes and exits in the event of a mains power failure, allowing occupants to evacuate safely.
We install BS 5266 compliant emergency lighting systems for all types of commercial premises including offices, retail units, restaurants, pubs, warehouses, care homes, and schools. We also carry out annual emergency lighting testing and maintenance as required by BS 5266-1 and issue the necessary test certificates for your fire safety records.
Electrical Testing and Inspection – EICR for Commercial Properties
Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, commercial property owners and employers have a legal duty to maintain electrical installations in a safe condition. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the recognised method for demonstrating compliance with this duty.
We carry out EICRs for all types of commercial premises, assessing the condition of fixed electrical installations against the current edition of BS 7671. We recommend a maximum inspection period of 5 years for commercial premises, or more frequently in high-risk or high-usage environments. On completion we provide a detailed EICR with recommendations for any remedial work required.
Fire Alarm and Smoke Alarm Installation
We install fire alarm and smoke detection systems for commercial premises in compliance with BS 5839-1. Our services include new fire alarm system installation, upgrade of existing systems, additional detector installation, fire alarm panel replacement, weekly testing, and annual service and certification. We work alongside fire safety consultants and comply with the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Data Cabling and Network Infrastructure
We provide structured data cabling and network infrastructure for commercial premises including Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a data cabling, network switch installation, server room power and cooling, and patch panel installation. Our data cabling installations follow TIA-568 and ISO 11801 standards and are tested and certified with a full cable test report on completion.
PAT Testing for Commercial Premises
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT testing) is essential for businesses to demonstrate compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and to satisfy insurance requirements. We carry out PAT testing for all types of commercial premises, testing computers, printers, power tools, extension leads, kitchen appliances, and all other portable electrical equipment. A full written report and appliance register is provided on completion.
Electrical Services for Retail and Hospitality
We provide specialist electrical services for retail and hospitality businesses across London including shop fitting electrical installations, display lighting, refrigeration power supplies, commercial kitchen wiring, bar and restaurant lighting, point of sale socket installations, CCTV power supplies, and external signage wiring. We work to tight timescales and can carry out installations outside trading hours to minimise disruption to your business.
Office Electrical Maintenance Contracts
Regular electrical maintenance keeps your office operating safely and efficiently and reduces the risk of unexpected faults and downtime. We offer commercial electrical maintenance contracts for offices, medical premises, educational establishments, and all types of commercial properties in London. Contracts cover planned preventive maintenance visits, electrical testing, PAT testing, emergency lighting testing, and priority response to any electrical faults arising between visits.
Commercial Landlord and Property Services
We work with commercial landlords, property management companies, and estate agents across London to maintain and improve commercial properties. Our services for landlords and property managers include EICR testing between tenancies, electrical upgrade works, rewiring, consumer unit replacement, additional circuit installation, and fault-finding. We provide clear condition reports and competitive pricing for all electrical work on commercial property portfolios.
Security Lighting and External Electrical Services
We design and install external electrical systems for commercial properties including security floodlights, perimeter lighting, car park lighting, external socket outlets, EV charging point circuits, and security camera power supplies. All external electrical installations use correctly rated IP-rated fittings and armoured cabling where required, and comply with BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations.
Commercial Electrical Fault Finding
Intermittent electrical faults in commercial premises can be difficult to trace and disruptive to business operations. Our electricians use professional diagnostic equipment including thermal imaging cameras, insulation resistance testers, and loop impedance testers to locate faults quickly and accurately. We identify the root cause of the problem and carry out a permanent repair, not just a temporary fix.
Three-Phase Electrical Services for London Businesses
Many commercial and industrial premises require three-phase electrical supplies to power large machinery, commercial kitchen equipment, lifts, air conditioning systems, and other high-demand equipment. Our electricians are experienced in three-phase power installation, distribution board design, motor circuit installation, and three-phase supply upgrades. We liaise with the District Network Operator (DNO) where a new or upgraded three-phase supply connection is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a qualified electrician for commercial electrical work?
Yes. Commercial electrical work must be carried out by a competent electrician. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers and property owners have a legal duty to ensure electrical installations and equipment are maintained safely. We strongly recommend using a NICEIC approved contractor for all commercial electrical work to ensure full compliance and competent certification.
How often does a commercial property need an EICR?
The recommended maximum period between EICRs for commercial premises is 5 years, or on change of occupancy. Higher-risk environments such as food service premises, swimming pools, and caravan parks require more frequent inspection. We assess your specific premises and advise accordingly.
Can you work out of hours to avoid disrupting our business?
Yes. We regularly carry out commercial electrical work outside normal business hours including evenings and weekends. This is particularly common for retail and hospitality clients where daytime works would disrupt trading.
