What goes on an electrical service agreement
Periodic inspection and testing is work a commercial landlord has to buy whether they want to or not, which makes it the most reliable recurring income in the trade. The agreement is less about price than about the calendar: which properties, on what cycle, and who remembers when each one falls due.
- The properties or installations covered, with the date each was last inspected
- The cycle for each, since they are rarely all on the same interval
- What the inspection includes, and the report it produces
- Remedial work: whether minor items are fixed on the visit, and up to what value
- The rate for anything beyond that
- Out-of-hours and emergency attendance, and what it costs
- The term, how it renews, and who is responsible for scheduling
The sample line items and example prices this sheet opens with are on the electrical invoice template — the same table, which is about the trade rather than about this paper, so it lives in one place rather than on all six.
What you get
A PDF, and a link your customer can open in any browser. Word and Excel versions are not available yet — if a spreadsheet is what you need, this is not yet the tool for it, and saying so is cheaper for both of us than you finding out after typing everything in.
Pick how it looks
Six looks, from a plain classic sheet through a bold top band to a shop ticket, and your initials go on automatically until you upload a logo. See all six.
How to send it
Most customers want the paper on their phone, so the service agreement goes out by WhatsApp, text or email, or as a link that needs no app and no account on their side. Or download the PDF to print it or keep it for your own records.
Questions
Should minor remedials be included in the visit?
Up to a stated value, yes. It saves a second visit for a loose terminal and it is what a landlord expects. Name the figure on the agreement — open-ended “minor works included” will be read far more generously by them than by you.
Who tracks when each inspection falls due?
Whoever does will end up owning the relationship, so it should be you. A landlord who gets a reminder a month before the certificate expires does not shop around, and running the diary is cheaper than winning the tender again.
