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 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 — and the landlord must give the contract-holder a copy within 14 days of occupation and within 14 days of any re-test. Without a valid EICR the property can fail the fitness-for-human-habitation standard. We issue NICEIC certification accepted by every Welsh council and managing agent.
Indicative pricing
| Property type | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Industrial / multi-board site | fixed quote after a free scope |
| Commercial unit / office | priced per distribution board |
| Domestic / landlord EICR | from £150 |
Every quote is fixed and confirmed after a quick scope — no call-out surprises. Remedial works identified in an EICR are always priced separately so you stay in control.

Heavy-industrial tenants with three-phase supplies, machinery loads and emergency-lighting obligations are core EICR and fixed-wire work for us, alongside the standard commercial and landlord certificates.
