Do you work at warehouse units around Magna Park?
Yes, with an honest note on scale. Magna Park, just outside Lutterworth, is often described as one of the largest distribution parks in the country, and units around the town range from huge sites with their own maintenance teams to smaller warehouses, trade counters and workshops. NT Electric is a small team, so we suit the smaller end: tenants of smaller units, the offices and welfare areas of larger ones, and businesses that want a reliable electrician for repairs and routine testing.
Larger sites often have their own contractor rules, such as inductions, permits to work and risk assessments and method statements (RAMS). Tell us what your site requires when you get in touch.
How often does a unit need an EICR and emergency lighting tests?
Regularly, though the interval depends on the premises. Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, employers must keep electrical systems safe, and a periodic inspection (EICR) is the usual way to show it. Guidance commonly suggests shorter intervals for industrial premises than for offices and shops, so check what your insurer, landlord or lease asks for.
Emergency lighting falls under BS 5266: a short function test every month and a full-duration test once a year, with results kept in a log book. Your own staff can often do the monthly check, and we can show them how.
- EICR
- Full inspection and test, with a written report.

- The annual full-duration test, logged, plus monthly checks if you want them.
- PAT testing
- Portable appliances in offices and welfare areas checked and recorded.
- Remedial work
- Priced separately; nothing done without your approval.
Can you upgrade warehouse lighting to LED?
Usually, yes, and it's often one of the quickest wins in an older unit. Old high-bay lamps and long fluorescent runs can be replaced with LED fittings that use less power, start instantly and need less upkeep. Sensors in aisles and loading areas that are only used now and then can cut running time further.
High ceilings mean working at height, so the right access equipment has to be planned in. LED upgrades in units are priced after a survey visit, where we can see the ceiling height, the existing fittings and how the space is used.
Do you do three-phase work and maintenance plans?
Yes. Many commercial units have a three-phase supply, and new machinery, compressors or a change of layout often mean new circuits or moving existing supplies. Three-phase work is always priced after a survey, so we can see the supply, the board and the equipment rating plates first.
For businesses that would rather not chase testing dates, Norman offers planned maintenance plans: a schedule of agreed tests and checks, such as the EICR, emergency lighting and PAT testing, plus routine repairs, at a price agreed up front.
Do you still help homeowners in Lutterworth?
Yes. The town has an older centre and newer estates on its edges, and we do the same electrical, plumbing and handyman jobs here as anywhere else. In older houses it's often a fuse board upgrade, extra sockets or worn plumbing; on the newer estates it's more often an EV charger, a TV on the wall or garden lighting.
If you run a business nearby and live locally, a home job can go on the same request as work at the unit. Travel is included in your fixed price; distance is one of the things that shapes it, along with the job itself.
