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
