Industrial Service
Industrial Electrical Maintenance
Minimise downtime and protect production with expertly managed industrial electrical maintenance — planned, reactive and emergency response.
What's Included
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Scheduled inspection and servicing of electrical systems including switchgear, distribution boards and motors.
Reactive Fault Response
Fast call-out for electrical failures, tripped protection, motor faults and control system issues.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Infrared surveys of distribution boards, busbars and connections to detect hot spots before they cause failure.
Motor & Drive Maintenance
Testing and maintenance of three-phase motors, soft starters and variable speed drives.
Control Panel Inspection
Inspection and testing of machine control panels, PLCs and relay logic systems.
EICR — Industrial
Fixed wire testing of industrial installations to BS 7671 with full written reports.
Why It Matters
Production Continuity
Unplanned electrical failures on industrial sites can halt production, causing losses that dwarf the cost of maintenance.
Safety Compliance
The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a duty on duty holders to maintain electrical systems. We provide the documentation to demonstrate compliance.
Early Failure Detection
Thermal imaging and regular testing identify developing faults before they become emergencies — protecting plant and people.
Industrial Electrical Maintenance Across the West Midlands
On an industrial site, an unplanned electrical failure can stop production within seconds. The cost of lost output, idle labour, spoiled materials and emergency contractor call-outs almost always dwarfs the annual cost of a proactive maintenance programme. FACE Electrical provides industrial electrical maintenance services for factories, distribution centres, food production facilities, manufacturing plants and engineering workshops right across Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Dudley and the wider West Midlands.
We tailor every maintenance contract to the specific requirements of the site. High-duty-cycle production environments with 24/7 operations need a different maintenance regime to a light industrial unit running single shifts. We work with your maintenance and operations teams to develop a PPM schedule that fits your production calendar, carries out work during planned shutdowns or lower-risk windows, and provides clear documentation after every visit. Our thermal imaging service is particularly valued by plant managers — scanning distribution boards, busbars and cable terminations for developing hot-spots that can be rectified before they cause a failure.
All work complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, BS 7671 and the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. We provide full written maintenance records, EICR certificates and thermal imaging reports — the complete audit trail that demonstrates due diligence and satisfies your insurer and the HSE.
Out-of-hours emergency response is available by arrangement for contracted clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide out-of-hours emergency cover?
Yes. We offer out-of-hours emergency response by arrangement as part of our industrial maintenance contracts.
Do you work alongside in-house maintenance teams?
We regularly work alongside client maintenance teams, providing specialist electrical expertise while in-house staff handle other trades.
What does a thermal imaging survey involve?
Using an infrared camera, we scan distribution boards, busbars, cable joints and switchgear to detect overheating connections that could cause fires or failures.
How often should industrial electrical systems be inspected?
The IET recommends EICR testing for industrial premises every 3 years. However, high-duty-cycle or hazardous environments may require more frequent inspection.
