Electrical & Fire Safety Services in West Midlands
Making Compliance Simple for Busy Office Managers
As an office manager, you’re juggling countless responsibilities – and ensuring your workplace meets electrical and fire safety regulations is just one more thing on your ever-growing list. That’s where ESI: Electrical Safety Inspections comes in.
We’ve been helping businesses across West Midlands stay compliant for over 20 years, so you can focus on what you do best while we handle the technical stuff. No jargon, no surprises, just straightforward electrical and fire safety services that actually work around your schedule.
Our local team is based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, giving us excellent coverage across the West Midlands and North West regions.

What You Really Need to Know About Compliance

Essential Services Every Office Manager Needs
🔌 Electrical Safety (Because Nobody Wants a Power Outage)
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) – Think of this as your building’s electrical MOT. Required every 5 years (or 3 years for commercial lettings), this comprehensive check ensures your wiring meets current safety standards and identifies any issues before they become problems.
PAT Testing – All those laptops, printers, kettles, and desk lamps? They need regular safety checks. But it’s not just office equipment – we also test site tools, workshop equipment, extension leads, power tools, and any other portable electrical equipment your business uses. We’ll test everything portable, provide clear pass/fail labels, and give you a detailed report for your records.
Emergency Lighting Testing – When the power goes out, your emergency lighting needs to work. We’ll test and maintain these systems so they’re ready when you need them most.
Thermal Imaging Surveys – Spot electrical problems before they cause fires or equipment failures. These non-invasive checks can save you thousands in avoided downtime and repairs.
Lightning Protection Testing – If your building has lightning protection systems, they need regular testing to ensure they’ll actually protect your property and equipment when storms hit.
🔥 Fire Safety (Because Prevention is Better Than Panic)
Fire Risk Assessments – Required by law for all commercial premises. We’ll identify potential fire hazards and give you a clear action plan to address them. No scary technical language – just practical advice you can actually implement.
Fire Door Inspections – Fire doors save lives, but only if they’re working properly. We’ll check all your fire doors are hung correctly, close properly, and have the right seals and hardware.
Fire Safety Training – Your team needs to know what to do in an emergency. We provide practical, engaging training that people actually remember (no boring PowerPoints, we promise).
Fire Extinguisher Services – We’ll supply, maintain, and service all your fire extinguishers, ensuring they’re ready to use and compliant with regulations.
Fire Alarm Servicing – Regular maintenance and testing of your fire alarm systems to ensure they’re working properly and meet current standards.
Dry Riser Inspections – If your building has dry riser systems, they need regular visual inspections and annual pressure testing to ensure they’ll work when the fire service needs them.
What Makes Us Different
We actually answer the phone – Tried calling contractors who never get back to you? We know how frustrating that is. When you call us, you’ll speak to a real person who can help.
