Why It Matters
Avoid Costly Downtime
Reactive electrical failures cost businesses far more than the preventive maintenance that would have avoided them.
Regulatory Compliance
Employers have a legal duty under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition.
Insurance Evidence
Documented PPM records provide essential evidence for commercial property insurance and liability claims.
Electrical Maintenance for West Midlands Businesses
An unplanned electrical failure at a commercial premises can shut down trading, trigger costly emergency call-out fees and — at worst — create a safety incident that puts staff and customers at risk. A well-structured planned preventative maintenance programme (PPM) eliminates most of those risks by catching problems before they become emergencies. FACE Electrical designs bespoke commercial electrical maintenance contracts for businesses of all sizes across the West Midlands, from single retail units to multi-site property portfolios.
Our PPM clients in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley and Solihull receive scheduled inspection visits booked around their trading hours, clear written condition reports after every visit, and priority response when reactive faults do occur. We cover distribution board inspections, emergency lighting monthly flick-tests and annual full-duration discharge tests, thermal imaging of switchgear and connections, PAT testing of portable appliances and fixed wire testing (EICR) at the intervals recommended by the IET.
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a legal duty on employers to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition. Our maintenance records and certificates provide the documented evidence you need for regulatory compliance, insurance purposes and due diligence when selling or re-letting commercial property.
All maintenance work is carried out by NAPIT-registered electricians to BS 7671 — with full certification issued after every visit.
