Our Expertise

Eight services, one M&E contractor.

Overview

Concept to hand-over.

For every project we carry out you will have a dedicated project manager to see it through from concept to completion. They will be your single point of contact, co-ordinating working drawings and RFIs all the way through to the production of operation and maintenance manuals for a snag-free hand-over.

As design engineers and specialist M&E contractors with over 100 years' collective experience in the industry, CEI provides a combination of engineering excellence and design innovation for every type and scale of project.

Electrical Testing & Inspections (EICR)

Electrical testing, statutory compliance.

Electrical testing and certification are essential for ensuring both domestic and commercial properties remain safe and compliant with current electrical regulations. Our electricians provide comprehensive inspection and testing services designed to assess the condition of electrical installations and identify any potential safety issues.

We are NICEIC approved and carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), which involve a detailed inspection of wiring systems, circuits, distribution boards and electrical accessories throughout the property. These inspections help determine whether your electrical system meets current safety standards and highlight any areas that require attention.

Regular testing is particularly important for businesses and landlords, as it helps ensure legal responsibilities are met while protecting employees, customers and visitors. Our electricians provide clear reports following inspections, outlining the condition of the installation and recommending any necessary improvements.

By ensuring electrical systems are properly tested and certified, landlords and businesses can maintain safe working environments and reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
