Electrical, fire & safety compliance for pubs & bars
Late nights, full rooms and a cellar full of kit. EFS keeps your pub or bar tested and certified - electrics, appliances, fire cover and emergency lighting - so you keep your licence, keep your insurance valid, and keep the public safe.
The compliance picture
What a pub or bar has to stay on top of
Licensed premises combine several risks - crowds late at night, a kitchen, a cellar of electrical equipment, and a legal duty to get everyone out safely. Fire cover and emergency lighting really matter here, and your premises licence and insurance both assume the safety side is properly maintained.
- Cellar cooling, kitchen and bar equipment all need PAT testing
- Fire cover and emergency lighting are critical with a full, late-night room
- Escape routes must stay clear, lit and protected at all times
- Your licence and insurer expect maintained fire and electrical safety

Why EFS
One plan, and the safety side is handled
Running a venue is relentless enough without chasing certificates. Put the pub's electrical, fire and security testing on one EFS plan and it is scheduled around opening, certified and reminded before it is due - so a licence check or insurer never catches you short.
- One provider for electrical, fire and security
- Testing done before opening or during quiet periods
- Certificates on file for licensing, insurers and inspections
Frequently asked questions
-
As licensed premises open to the public you are the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 - which means maintained fire equipment, working alarms and clear, lit escape routes. We survey your venue and keep you on the right side of it.
-
Yes - cellar cooling, glass washers, kitchen equipment and bar appliances are all portable appliances with a duty of care attached, and insurers commonly ask for testing. We test and label the lot and schedule re-tests.
-
Yes. We work before you open or during quiet daytime periods and stage the work so testing never clashes with service. Anything needing a circuit off is arranged with you first.
-
It can - most licensed venues bundle PAT, fire, emergency lighting and fixed-wire testing onto one monthly plan, scheduled and certified automatically for one predictable cost.
