Services
Electrical Design
Our electrical design service utilises advanced software like Hevacomp and AutoCAD to create precise, customised solutions for projects of all scales. From system design to as-installed drawings, we ensure compliance with BS 7671 regulations and client specifications. Our in-house engineers deliver coordinated designs that optimise efficiency and safety for commercial, industrial, and domestic installations.
Portable Appliance Testing
We conduct thorough PAT testing to ensure all portable electrical equipment meets safety standards, reducing accident risks. Our qualified engineers perform visual inspections and electronic tests, issuing detailed reports and labels for traceability. Services include advice on testing frequencies, minor repairs, and re-testing certificates, ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation for landlords and businesses.
Electrical Maintenance
Our planned and reactive maintenance services cover life safety systems, emergency repairs, and routine checks. We develop cost-effective strategies to ensure system reliability, including 24-hour support and spare parts management. Compliance with statutory requirements is guaranteed through documented testing, logbooks, and adherence to BS 7671 standards for fire alarms, emergency lighting, and industrial equipment.
Periodic Inspection
We perform periodic inspections to assess electrical installations' safety and compliance, issuing Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR). Testing intervals vary by property type, from annual checks for fire alarms to decennial reviews for homes. Our inspections identify hazards, defects, and non-compliances, ensuring installations meet BS 7671 regulations and insurability requirements.
Domestic Installations
We offer comprehensive domestic electrical services, including new builds, rewires, and additions like sockets, lighting, and EV charge points. All work complies with current regulations, with options for intelligent lighting, security systems, and underfloor heating. We provide test certificates, fault finding, and tidy installations, ensuring safety and functionality for modern homes.
