Port Talbot is the most industrially intensive location in Wales, anchored by Tata Steel and the supply-chain tenants across Baglan Energy Park, Water Street Business Park and Central Way. Industrial premises carry a shorter three-year fixed-wire testing interval and far more demanding installations than a typical office, so EICRs here are about heavy three-phase distribution, switchgear and machinery supplies - exactly the work FLD does as an industrial electrical contractor.
We hold ConstructionLine and SSIP, work the Celtic Freeport and Transition Board supply-chain programme, and are only 18 minutes from Port Talbot - so attendance, reporting and any follow-up remedials are fast and handled under a single NICEIC Approved Contractor sign-off.
Testing services we provide in Port Talbot
Fixed-wire testing (EICR)
BS 7671 condition reporting for Port Talbot industrial and commercial premises - three-phase distribution, switchgear, machinery and sub-main testing, with C1/C2/C3 coding and a separately-priced remedial schedule. Industrial interval is typically three years.
Emergency lighting testing
BS 5266 Part 1 monthly function and annual discharge testing for industrial units, warehouses and commercial premises across SA12/SA13.
Thermographic surveys
Thermal imaging of switchgear, distribution boards and busbar to catch developing faults on heavy industrial supplies before they cause downtime.
Landlord & commercial EICRs
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and the Fitness for Human Habitation (Wales) Regulations 2022 (mandatory since 1 December 2022), every Welsh rental on an occupation contract needs a valid EICR - at least five-yearly, or sooner if the report specifies - and the landlord must give the contract-holder a copy within 14 days of the occupation date, and within 14 days of the inspection for any re-test carried out after occupation. Miss either duty and the dwelling is treated as unfit for human habitation, even where the EICR itself was satisfactory. We issue NICEIC certification accepted by every Welsh council and managing agent.
Indicative pricing
