For business premises and operational estates
Electrical Compliance Documentation Support in Scotland
Asked for electrical certificates by an insurer, landlord or auditor? WB Electrical helps you identify the relevant records, organise missing inspection or testing, and bring completed work and outstanding actions into a clear handover.
From our Larkhall base, we support commercial premises across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire and the Central Belt. Wider Scotland and multi-site requirements are considered by agreement.
Relevant records. Visible gaps. Clear next steps.
Start with the request you have received
Make sense of the electrical evidence you need
We review the records available for your premises and help coordinate the work needed to address gaps. Each report, certificate and test record retains its own purpose and scope.
An insurer or auditor has asked
You have a renewal, risk-review or audit request with a deadline. Share the exact wording so we can identify the electrical documents and any clarification needed.
Your records are incomplete
Reports are scattered, schedules are missing or completed repairs are difficult to trace. Establish what is available before deciding whether further inspection or testing is needed.
A premises handover is approaching
You are taking on a property, managing an estate or closing out alterations. Match the records to the correct site, work area and responsible contact.
Your insurer, landlord or auditor confirms what it requires and whether the submission satisfies its request. WB provides and explains electrical evidence within the agreed scope.
Bring together the right records for the right assets
What the documentation review can cover
The pack is tailored to the request and the premises. We check document references, dates, stated scope, supporting pages and unresolved findings, then agree which gaps need action.
Fixed installation records
EICRs and their inspection and test schedules, plus relevant Electrical Installation Certificates or Minor Works Certificates. These describe different activities and are not interchangeable.
System and equipment records
Emergency lighting test records, logbook entries and workplace equipment inspection results where relevant. Asset references help connect each document to what was actually checked.
Repair and follow-up evidence
Link the original observation to the agreed work, appropriate completion records and any further checks. Keep items awaiting investigation or repair visible.
Include a thermal imaging report where specifically requested or relevant. A document review cannot verify an untested installation or replace a separate specialist assessment.
A practical route from the request to the evidence
Resolve gaps around your site and deadline
Outstanding safety findings still need action. Compiling a pack does not resolve an electrical defect. Significant concerns should be addressed promptly, with the original finding, completed work and remaining actions clearly connected.
01
Review the request and existing file
Share the written request, deadline and complete reports where available. Confirm the site, occupier or landlord responsibilities and the person who will receive the pack.
02
Agree the work needed
Distinguish missing paperwork from missing tests or unresolved defects. Where site work is needed, agree access, critical loads, isolations and a realistic programme before booking.
03
Compile the records and action list
Bring together the agreed evidence, check references and identify outstanding items. Your nominated contact submits it to the requesting party and obtains any required acceptance confirmation.
Keep quotations and booked repairs marked as planned until completion is evidenced. If access or testing remains outstanding, record the limitation and who will arrange the next step.

Useful records with an honest view of what remains
A clear pack for your premises file
Documents that can be traced
- Site, building and relevant asset references.
- Document titles, issuers, dates and stated scope.
- Complete reports with their supporting schedules.
- Relevant repair, test and completion records.
Agree an index and naming format so your team can find the right record. Original documents remain attributed to their issuer; the summary does not alter their findings.
An action list your team can use
Identify missing information, unresolved observations and work requiring approval. Record the responsible person and next step for each outstanding item, with the supporting evidence when it is completed.
For several sites, keep each location’s scope and status separate. Recommended inspection dates, contractual deadlines and planned work dates should remain clearly distinguished.
The pack supports your electrical maintenance records. It does not replace ongoing maintenance or provide a blanket certificate of compliance for the premises.
Testing records connected to the work on site
Experience with handovers across operational premises
Scottish Ambulance Service
WB’s Scottish Ambulance Service case study describes electrical testing, remedial work and task-specific completion information across a varied operational estate. Its handover approach records what was completed and identifies separate defects or follow-up recommendations.
That experience informs practical coordination between the site contact, the work undertaken and the records needed. Your documentation scope and any testing or repair programme are agreed for your premises.
Supplier assurance
Review WB’s current contractor and management-system evidence. Tell us about procurement requirements, requested formats and any conditions attached to the electrical work.
Practical answers before you send the request
Electrical documentation questions
Will the pack guarantee insurance cover or acceptance?
No. The insurer or other requesting party decides what evidence it accepts. Share its written requirements and ask your broker or insurer to clarify policy questions. We can explain the electrical records and agreed work, but do not determine insurance cover.
Can you review another contractor’s reports?
Yes. Share complete documents, including schedules and observations. We can review them to help define the next steps. We do not rewrite another issuer’s results, backdate records or certify unverified work; any new inspection has its own scope and record.
What if an installation certificate is missing?
First check with the original contractor, landlord or previous records holder for a copy. If it cannot be recovered, we can discuss an appropriate assessment of the existing installation. A new EICR is not a replacement for the original installation certificate.
Does every premises need the same set of tests?
No. The equipment, installation, use, risk and actual request determine what is relevant. EICR, emergency lighting, equipment testing and thermal imaging have different purposes. There is no single bundle or common renewal interval that automatically applies to every site.
How quickly can the documentation be ready?
It depends on the quality of existing records and whether inspection, investigation or repairs remain. Share the deadline early. We can propose a realistic sequence once the scope is understood; a review of existing documents is different from completing site work.
Arrange the work behind the required record
Related testing and remedial services
A fixed wiring report is needed
Arrange inspection and testing of the agreed installation, with an EICR recording the findings and limitations.
An EICR identifies work to do
Review the observations, define repairs and agree the appropriate testing and completion evidence.
Other electrical records are required
Coordinate the relevant checks while keeping each system or equipment record distinct.

Start with the request, the site and your deadline. You do not need to know every document name before contacting us.
Information that helps us respond
- Company, premises address and postcode, or a site list.
- The insurer, landlord or audit request and deadline.
- Reports and certificates already available.
- Known defects, booked works or missing information.
- Site contact, access constraints and required document format.
Mention available documents in the enquiry. The office will confirm how to share the relevant files.
How is documentation support priced?
The number of sites, record quality, document volume and reporting detail affect the review. Any inspection, testing, repairs or return visits add their own scope and cost.
We agree the review and coordination work before proceeding and identify separately priced site work. Confirm the included documents, exclusions and VAT when comparing quotations.
