Statutory Compliance Services in Birmingham
Testing, inspection and certification
Statutory compliance covers the testing, inspection, servicing and certification of a commercial building’s assets. Premier Support Services carries out statutory compliance testing and certification across Birmingham and the West Midlands, keeping owners, landlords and employers audit-ready, from a local Birmingham base rather than a national call centre.
Let's start with your details
EICR, Fire Alarm and PAT Testing Across Birmingham and the West Midlands
Statutory compliance testing, inspection and certification keeps commercial buildings across Birmingham and the West Midlands safe and audit-ready. Premier Support Services delivers inspection and testing from offices in Bromley Street, Digbeth.
Local engineers carry out EICR testing, fire alarm testing, PAT testing and buildings risk assessments such as LOLER, asbestos and Legionella risks. Under FM contracts, Premier Support Services manage the planned maintenance that keeps a building’s statutory schedule on track.
What Is Statutory Compliance, and Who Is Responsible for It?
Statutory compliance services include inspection, testing, servicing and certification of a building’s assets, covering everything from electrical installations and fire safety equipment to water systems and lifting equipment.
The responsible person or duty-holder is typically the building owner, employer, landlord or managing agent, depending on the lease and occupancy arrangement. That person is accountable for making sure the tests happen on a regular schedule and are recorded clearly, even where the testing itself is carried out by a contractor.
With a Premier Support Services contract, all the inspections your site needs are managed by a single contract manager. View schedules and reporting in one place on the Client Hub, and remain confident that your site is up to standard.

How Compliance Management Works
A compliance audit and asset register set the starting point, mapping which tests a building needs, and the desired frequency. All documentation is audit-ready and stored on the Client Hub, alongside schedules and other documents relating to your contact.
Where a test identifies a fault, remedial work is scheduled and completed by qualified engineers, and renewal dates are tracked so a test is not missed.
Statutory tasks are scheduled within a planned and reactive maintenance contract, so compliance testing runs alongside the rest of a building’s maintenance programme for streamlined support.

Step 1
Request a callback from the Birmingham team.
Step 2
The Birmingham team will be in touch to arrange a site survey, on site or over video call, to map the building's asset register against its statutory testing needs.
Step 3
A written, itemised quotation follows, scoped to the assets and test frequencies identified.
Step 4
On sign-off, a statutory task schedule is prepared, covering test dates and renewal reminders.
Testing and Remedial Works
Testing on its own identifies a fault; it does not fix it. Where a Premier Support Services planned or reactive maintenance contract is in place, remedial work identified during a compliance test can be scheduled through that same contract, rather than being passed to a separate contractor to arrange.

Statutory Compliance Birmingham: FAQs
Frequency depends on the system and the applicable standard (BS 5266 for emergency lighting, BS 5839 for fire alarms); the compliance audit sets the exact schedule for a specific building.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) and fixed-wire testing both assess the condition of a building’s fixed electrical installation under BS 7671. PAT testing covers portable appliances rather than the fixed installation.
Most commercial buildings with water systems need a Legionella risk assessment under the L8 Approved Code of Practice, and buildings built or refurbished before 2000 typically need an asbestos management survey under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. A compliance audit confirms what applies to a specific building.
Where a planned or reactive maintenance contract is in place, remedial work identified during testing can be scheduled through that contract rather than passed to a separate contractor.
Premier Support Services is certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 and holds CHAS Advanced, SafeContractor and Constructionline Gold status.
Specialist inspection and testing is undertaken by appropriately qualified engineers or approved contractors. Contact the Helpdesk team to confirm the applicable registration and certification for the service required.
Cost depends on the number of assets covered, site size, test frequency and whether services are bundled in a TFM contract. A written quotation follows a compliance audit.
A failed test is logged and reported, with remedial work scheduled to bring the asset back into compliance, followed by a retest where required.
Premier Support Services covers Birmingham city centre and the surrounding West Midlands, including Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, West Bromwich, Sandwell, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall and Coventry. Contact the Birmingham office to check coverage for a specific site.
