[Request a Free Quote](/contact)[0203 576 6961](tel:02035766961) Last updated: 26 August 2026 · Reviewed by Steve Green, NICEIC-approved electrician Planned Schedules NICEIC Approved 24/7 Emergency SLA Response Multi-Site Coverage ## Proactive Electrical Maintenance Reactive electrical maintenance is expensive, disruptive, and risky. Waiting for things to break costs more than preventing failure — in downtime, in emergency callout fees, and potentially in safety incidents. A planned maintenance contract puts you in control. Regular inspections, scheduled testing, and preventive work keep your electrical systems reliable, compliant, and safe — with predictable costs instead of emergency surprises. **What our maintenance contracts cover:** - [EICR inspections](/services/eicr-testing) on schedule — 3-year or 5-year cycles depending on premises type - [PAT testing](/services/pat-testing) of all portable appliances at the correct frequency - Emergency lighting monthly checks and annual full-duration tests - [Fire alarm system](/services/fire-alarm-installation) testing and maintenance - General electrical inspection and thermographic surveys - Priority emergency callout with guaranteed response times - Detailed reporting and annual compliance summaries We manage maintenance contracts for offices in [Lewisham](/areas/lewisham), retail premises in [Croydon](/areas/croydon), restaurant groups across [Tooting](/areas/tooting) and [Streatham](/areas/streatham), and landlord portfolios spanning the South East. ## Why Planned Maintenance Saves Money ### Emergency Costs vs. Planned Costs An emergency callout at midnight for a failed circuit costs 3–5x more than the same repair during a scheduled maintenance visit. Planned maintenance identifies deteriorating connections, ageing components, and overloaded circuits before they fail — allowing repair during normal hours at normal rates. ### Compliance Penalties Missing an EICR deadline on a rental property can result in fines of up to £30,000 per property. Failing to maintain emergency lighting or fire alarm systems puts your fire risk assessment in breach. A maintenance contract ensures every deadline is tracked and met. ### Equipment Lifespan Electrical connections loosen over time. Contacts corrode. Insulation degrades. Regular maintenance — retorqueing connections, cleaning contacts, testing insulation — extends equipment life by years and prevents the cascading failures that result from neglect. ### Insurance Requirements Many commercial insurance policies require evidence of regular electrical maintenance. Without current testing records, claims related to electrical failure or fire may be rejected. A maintenance contract provides the documentation insurers require. Our Process ## How Our Maintenance Contracts Work Structured for reliability, compliance, and minimum disruption to your business. 01 1 hr ### Site Assessment Comprehensive audit of your electrical installation, equipment, and compliance status. We identify risks, maintenance gaps, and improvement opportunities. 02 Half – 1 day ### Maintenance Plan Customised schedule covering testing cycles, inspection frequency, preventive tasks, and budget forecasting. Tailored to your business type and regulatory requirements. 03 Per agreement ### Scheduled Visits Regular planned maintenance visits at times that minimise business disruption. Evenings and weekends available for customer-facing premises. 04 Per visit ### Reactive Support Priority emergency response for contract clients. SLA-backed response times so you're never left waiting when things go wrong. 05 Annual ### Reporting & Compliance Full documentation after every visit. Annual compliance summary, upcoming certification deadlines, and budget recommendations for the year ahead. Benefits ## Why Choose 24/7 Electrical for Maintenance A single contractor for all your electrical maintenance, compliance, and emergency needs. ### Reduced Downtime Planned maintenance catches failures before they happen. Scheduled replacements during quiet periods cost a fraction of emergency repairs during peak trading. ### Compliance Confidence EICR schedules, PAT testing cycles, emergency lighting checks, and fire alarm testing all managed on your behalf. Never miss a compliance deadline. ### Priority Emergency Response Contract clients receive priority dispatch with guaranteed SLA response times. When things go wrong, you're first in the queue. ### Budget Predictability Fixed monthly or annual contract pricing covers scheduled maintenance. No surprise invoices for routine work. Emergency callouts billed at preferential rates. ### Single Point of Contact One contractor managing all your electrical needs — maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and compliance. Simpler management, consistent quality. ### Asset Life Extension Regular maintenance extends the life of electrical equipment significantly. Clean contacts, tightened connections, and early fault detection prevent premature failure. FAQ ## Maintenance Contract FAQs Common questions about planned electrical maintenance and compliance management. ### What does an electrical maintenance contract include? ### How much does an electrical maintenance contract cost? ### Is electrical maintenance a legal requirement? ### How often should commercial electrics be inspected? ### Do you cover multi-site businesses? ### What's included in emergency lighting maintenance? ### Can you take over from our current electrician? ### What areas do you cover for maintenance contracts? Signs You Need This ## Signs You Need a Maintenance Contract Reactive-only electrical management is the most expensive way to run a property. Here's when contracts pay back. Planned maintenance typically reduces total electrical spend by 20–35% over five years versus pure reactive — and removes most of the surprise capital expenditure. - You manage rented residential or commercial property - You've had two or more emergency call-outs in the last 12 months - Statutory tests (EICR, emergency lighting, fire alarm) are slipping past due dates - You don't have a current asset register or test log - You're a facilities manager with multiple sites and multiple suppliers - Your insurance asks for evidence of planned electrical maintenance - Lighting outages and minor faults are eating staff time you can't recharge - You'd benefit from a single point of contact across all electrical works Indicative Pricing ## Maintenance Contract Pricing Predictable monthly cost, prioritised response, and discounted reactive works. Job Type Typical Price What's Included Small business / retail unit (1 site) £45–£95 per month Quarterly inspection, priority response, 10% discount on reactive works. Office or restaurant (up to 1,000 sqft) £95–£180 per month Quarterly visit, lighting and emergency lighting checks, certification updates. HMO / multi-let portfolio (per property) From £35 per month Annual EICR, smoke alarm checks, log book maintained on your behalf. Larger site / multi-floor commercial From £220 per month Monthly visits, asset register, planned preventive maintenance schedule. Reactive call-out (under contract) Discounted 10–25% Off contractual reactive rate, with priority response within agreed SLA. One-off planned maintenance visit From £180 For clients not on contract — full inspection and written report. Prices shown are typical guide ranges for Greater London and the South East as of 2026. Every job is quoted in writing on a fixed-price basis after a free site assessment — you only pay the figure we agree, with no hidden extras. Honest Answers ## Worried About Signing a Maintenance Contract? We've heard every concern. Here's how our agreements actually work. ### "What if you under-deliver and we're locked in?" All our contracts are 12-month rolling with a 60-day exit clause. If we're not delivering, you walk away — no penalty. ### "Will you find 'extra' work to bill on every visit?" Quarterly reports separate statutory remedials from 'recommended improvements'. You decide what to action. Nothing extra is invoiced without written approval. ### "How do you compare on price to going reactive?" Most clients save in year one — primarily on out-of-hours emergency rates and avoided downtime. We'll show you your last 12 months' invoices and project what a contract would have cost. ### "What about non-electrical issues that come up?" We don't pretend to do plumbing or roofing. But we're happy to coordinate with your other contractors and provide single-source reporting through one named account manager. ![Professional electrician ready for maintenance contract work](/assets/cta-background-BI2H9wJG.jpg) Free Site Audit This Quarter ## Switch From Reactive to Planned Maintenance Get a free site audit and a clear, costed maintenance proposal in front of you this month.
