Proactive electrical auditing for commercial and industrial premises. Identify compliance gaps, mitigate safety risks, and optimise the performance of your electrical infrastructure — before issues become incidents.
Every operational business depends on the reliability and safety of its electrical infrastructure. Yet for many organisations, electrical systems are managed reactively — problems are addressed only when they cause disruption, equipment failure, or regulatory non-compliance. Oleco’s electrical auditing service takes a fundamentally different approach.
Our auditing service is a strategic assessment of your entire electrical estate. We evaluate compliance, identify safety hazards, analyse energy efficiency, and deliver a prioritised programme of recommendations that enables you to manage your electrical infrastructure proactively, rather than waiting for problems to arise.
It is important to distinguish between an electrical audit and a standard inspection. While periodic inspection and testing (such as an EICR) is an essential component of compliance, it represents only one element of a thorough audit. Our auditing service goes further, examining the broader operational context of your electrical systems.
We assess not only whether your installation meets current wiring regulations, but also whether your systems are operating efficiently, whether your maintenance regime is adequate, whether your infrastructure can support planned operational changes, and whether there are opportunities to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Each audit is scoped to reflect the specific requirements of your premises and sector. As a guide, our standard audit programme includes:
Oleco has significant experience delivering electrical audit programmes across multi-site portfolios. We understand the challenges of maintaining consistent standards across geographically dispersed premises, and we have developed efficient methodologies for large-scale rollouts.
Our work with organisations such as Citizens Advice demonstrates our capability in this area. For multi-site clients, we provide standardised reporting formats, centralised risk registers, and portfolio-level dashboards that enable estates teams to make informed decisions about where to prioritise investment and remediation.
UK businesses operate within a complex regulatory framework governing electrical safety. The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 place a legal duty on employers to maintain electrical systems in a safe condition. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 requires employers to assess and manage risks. Sector-specific regulations add further obligations for healthcare, education, hospitality, and industrial environments.
Our auditors are fully conversant with these frameworks and provide clear, actionable guidance on compliance status. Where non-compliance is identified, we provide specific recommendations, indicative costs, and a prioritised timeline for remediation.
Electrical infrastructure represents a significant operational cost for most businesses. Our audit includes a detailed energy efficiency assessment that identifies opportunities to reduce consumption and costs. This may include recommendations for LED lighting upgrades, power factor correction, improved control systems, or operational changes to reduce peak demand.
For many clients, the cost savings identified through an electrical audit significantly exceed the cost of the audit itself, delivering a measurable return on investment within the first year.
Following every audit, we provide a comprehensive written report that includes:
We also offer a presentation and walkthrough of findings for your management, facilities, and health and safety teams, ensuring all stakeholders understand the current status and planned actions.
