Keep Your South Bank Workspace Safe, Compliant & Future-Ready
If you’re running a business in South Bank or Waterloo, you already know this isn’t just any corner of London. SE1 is the cultural and creative engine of the capital, home to global HQs, tech scale-ups, iconic architecture, and more buzz per square foot than anywhere else in the city.
But behind the design-led offices and heritage buildings is one thing every business must have locked down: electrical safety. That’s where your EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) steps in.
🎯 The Legal Low-down
| 🎯 Reg | What it means in real life |
|---|---|
| Electricity at Work Regs 1989 | Keep every fixed cable & breaker safe or face enforcement. |
| Electrical Safety Standards 2020 | Local authorities can fine £30 000 for a dodgy install. |
An up-to-date EICR is the simplest proof you’re not skating on legal thin ice.
🚨 What Is an EICR and Why Does It Matter?
An EICR is a legal requirement for commercial properties, ensuring all fixed wiring and electrical installations are safe to use. It’s your proof of compliance with:
- The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
- Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020
Without a valid EICR:
- You risk fines of up to £30,000
- Insurance claims can be denied
- You could face legal liability in case of an incident
Fact: In 2024 alone, over 70% of South Bank commercial units were flagged for outdated or expired EICRs during routine inspections.

🌍 South Bank’s Unique Electrical Landscape
SE1 blends old-meets-new in a way few districts do. That means:
- Converted heritage buildings with legacy wiring
- Ultra-modern co-working spaces with complex load requirements
- Shared risers in multi-use buildings, where one fault can affect several units
- Busy event venues that need non-disruptive testing windows
Our local engineers know these buildings inside out:
- The Shard (Level 3 to Level 33)
- Oxo Tower Wharf
- WeWork and Spaces across the South Bank and Waterloo
- Tate Modern offices and studios
⚡ What Our EICR Includes
Our South Bank EICR service isn’t just a checkbox exercise. We provide:
- Inspection of all fixed wiring, consumer units, fuses & breakers
- RCD testing for trip time and sensitivity
- Earthing and bonding verification
- Load testing and phase balancing
- Optional thermal imaging for hidden hot spots
You get a full digital certificate, itemised fault log (if any), and clear recommendations on next steps.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
-
How often do I need an EICR for my South Bank office?
Commercial properties in South Bank and across the UK legally require an EICR at least every 5 years, or sooner if there's a change in tenancy or significant electrical work. If your building hosts high-demand equipment (like data servers or lighting rigs), more frequent checks may be advisable.
-
Can EICR testing be done outside business hours?
Yes – at London EICR Certificates, we specialise in evening and weekend testing across SE1. Whether you're based in a high-rise like The Shard or a creative space on Upper Ground, we’ll ensure zero disruption to your team or customers.
-
What happens if my property fails the EICR?
If faults are found, we provide a clear, itemised report and quote for remedial work. Minor issues (like RCD failures or loose connections) can often be fixed on the same visit to save you time and keep you compliant faster.
-
How long does an EICR inspection take in a typical SE1 workspace?
For a single-floor office or studio (up to 10 circuits), expect 1.5 to 3 hours. Larger multi-floor or co-working spaces may take longer, especially if thermal imaging or load testing is included. Either way, we always work efficiently and cleanly.
-
Is my EICR certificate valid for insurance purposes?
Absolutely. Our certificates are fully compliant, issued by NICEIC Approved engineers, and delivered digitally within 24 hours. They're accepted by insurers, local authorities, and landlords throughout London.
