Electrical, fire & security compliance for shops & retail
Your shop only makes money with the doors open. EFS keeps your electrics, fire cover and security tested and certified around your trading hours - so you stay safe, stay insured, and never lose a day's takings to a compliance problem.
The compliance picture
What a shop has to keep on top of
Retail premises pack a lot into a small footprint - point-of-sale kit, display lighting, illuminated signage, chillers and a stockroom out the back. Every bit of it has a safety duty attached, and your insurance almost certainly assumes it is all tested and in date.
- Tills, card machines and back-office kit all need PAT testing
- Display lighting and signage put steady load on your wiring
- Fire escape routes and extinguishers have to stay clear and serviced
- Insurers and most leases require current electrical certificates

Periodic inspection of your installation with the certificate your insurer and landlord expect.
Display and escape-route lighting kept safe, serviced and inspection-ready.
Extinguisher servicing, alarm and detector testing sized for your shop floor.

Why EFS
One plan, and your shop just stays covered
Running a shop is enough of a job without chasing separate contractors for testing and servicing. Put the electrical, fire and security work on one EFS plan and it is handled quietly in the background, on schedule, every time.
- One provider and one number for electrical, fire and security
- Testing done around opening hours - no lost trading days
- Every certificate filed and ready for insurers, landlords or an inspection
Frequently asked questions
-
Almost certainly - most commercial leases and insurers require a current fixed-wire (EICR) certificate, and it is good practice regardless. We assess your unit, carry out the inspection and track when the next one is due.
-
Yes, in most cases. We schedule around your opening hours and work in stages so you can keep trading. Anything that needs a circuit isolated is planned with you in advance.
-
We do. CCTV, intruder alarms and access control can be installed and maintained alongside your electrical and fire testing, so it is all one provider and one plan.
-
It depends on your size and what testing applies, so there is no flat price. We survey first - free and no obligation - and quote one clear monthly figure with nothing hidden.
