Planned, reactive and project support
We support commercial and industrial clients with the full range of electrical work needed to keep a building or estate running, not just one-off projects. That includes:
- Reactive electrical maintenance
- Planned maintenance
- Small works
- Improvement projects
- Larger electrical installations
Working in live commercial environments
Much of our work takes place in buildings that stay open and operational throughout the project — universities, colleges, schools, fire stations, offices, warehouses, industrial premises and commercial buildings. We plan works carefully, communicate clearly with site teams and sequence delivery to minimise disruption to the people using the building.
- Universities and colleges
- Schools
- Fire stations
- Offices
- Warehouses
- Industrial premises
- Commercial buildings
Testing and compliance
Alongside installation and maintenance work, we carry out commercial EICRs and fixed wire testing, and deliver the remedial works that follow when a report identifies issues. Where relevant to a project, this also includes emergency lighting testing.
Full detail on commercial EICRs is available on our dedicated Testing & EICR page, and on planned and reactive support on our Electrical Maintenance page.

What customers say about this work
All customer reviews →Repaired kitchen socket and installed Dishwasher
“I have used RS Electrical before, and as always they were incredibly quick to respond, completing the work within 24 hours after I called and to a perfect standard. Ryan and his team always take the time to find the neatest way to complete the job, never cutting corners. Would recommend RS to anybody.”
EICRs / Remedial Work for 8 Commercial Shops
“I have previously used RS Electrical for electrical work in residential and commercial properties. RS Electrical were instructed to conduct EICRs for 8 commercial shops which highlighted significant defects and serious safety concerns. After receiving quotes for the remedial work, they repaired and made safe all shops to an extremely high standard. I cannot fault their workmanship and the communication is second to none. The whole team, from admin to the electricians, are a credit to the company. I would highly recommend RS Electrical to anyone looking for skilled/reliable electricians.”
EICR for house sale
“Absolutely superb service. I needed a last-minute electrical cert for a house move. After a frantic email on Monday to find somebody, the job was carried out on Wednesday by RS Electrical (James). Courteous, knowledgeable and understanding. Couldn't have asked for any better.”
