We plan and deliver both: distribution boards, sub-mains, small power, lighting, containment, data containment, machine supplies, three-phase connections and the testing that signs it all off. We work for office landlords and tenants, retail units, salons, gyms, cafés, workshops, warehouses and industrial premises across Salford, Manchester and the wider region, both directly and as a subcontractor to main contractors and fit-out companies. That includes attending as a maintenance electrician on call-off work as well as delivering a priced project from drawings. Experience across domestic, commercial and industrial installations over 12 years means we understand the difference between a job that works on the day and one that still works after two years of use. Every project carries £5 million public liability cover and is documented on completion. ### Why professional work matters here Commercial installations carry higher loads, longer cable runs and more legal exposure than domestic ones. Duty holders are responsible for the safety of the installation, and an undocumented alteration is a problem in an insurance claim or an HSE conversation. Professional installation and certification put that on record. ### Who it's for - Office, retail and hospitality tenants fitting out or altering a unit - Landlords and managing agents maintaining let premises - Main contractors and fit-out firms needing an electrical package delivered - Warehouse, workshop and light industrial operators ### When it's needed - A unit is being fitted out, refurbished or reconfigured - Machinery or equipment needs a new dedicated or three-phase supply - The distribution board is full, obsolete or unsafe - Lighting levels are poor or running costs are too high - A periodic inspection has raised remedial items What happens if it's left ## What a neglected commercialinstallation costs you The direct cost of an electrical failure in a commercial unit is rarely the repair. It is the hours the till was not taking money, the shift that stood idle, the stock in a warm fridge, and the customers who found somewhere else to go while the shutters were down. Overloaded and undocumented boards are the usual cause. Circuits get added over the years with no record, protection stops matching the load, terminations loosen under thermal cycling and eventually something fails at the worst possible moment. The same board is then a bottleneck when you need one more supply for new equipment. There is also the compliance exposure. If an incident happens on premises where the installation has no recent inspection record and no certificates for alterations, the duty holder has nothing to demonstrate that reasonable steps were taken. That is a slow, expensive problem to be on the wrong side of. ### Common mistakes we're called to fix - Extending small power off convenient circuits instead of designing the load - Leaving boards unlabelled, so isolation during a fault takes an hour - Deferring remedial items from an inspection report until the next report repeats them - Running equipment on trailing leads and adaptors as a permanent arrangement - Buying fittings on price, then replacing them within two years Our process ## Five stages, every job,from enquiry to certificate - Step 1 ### Enquiry and site visit We respond within 1–2 hours in working hours and arrange to see the unit, the existing board and the access constraints. - Step 2 ### Scope and fixed quotation Work is scoped from drawings or from the site, priced in writing, and programmed around trading hours, other trades and any out-of-hours requirement. - Step 3 ### Installation Containment first, then cabling, boards and terminations, with isolations agreed in advance so shutdowns are short, planned and known about. - Step 4 ### Testing and verification Circuits are inspected and tested to BS 7671, boards are labelled and schedules completed, and emergency lighting or alarm interfaces are function-tested where they form part of the works. - Step 5 ### Handover and guarantee You receive certification and board schedules for the compliance file, plus our workmanship guarantee. 12-month workmanship guarantee when materials are supplied by us and no other contractor has worked on the installation beforehand. What you get out of it ## The difference between doneand done properly ### Minimal downtime Isolations are planned, sequenced and kept short, and out-of-hours working is available where a shutdown during trading is not an option. ### Compliance on record Certificates and board schedules are issued on completion, so the duty holder has documentation rather than a verbal assurance. ### Capacity for growth Boards and sub-mains are specified with headroom, so the next machine or the next tenant fit-out does not mean starting again. ### Lower energy spend LED replacement schemes, sensible switching and zoned control cut lighting consumption in units that run long hours. ### One contractor for the package Power, lighting, containment, fire alarm and emergency lighting handled by the same team, so responsibility is not split between trades. ### Reliable on programme Dates are agreed and held, which matters when your fit-out has a lease deadline or an opening date behind it. In detail ## Materials and methodson commercial projects Commercial installations are built around containment. Cable tray, basket, trunking and steel or PVC conduit carry circuits on planned routes so they can be added to, inspected and maintained later. Singles are pulled into containment, LSZH cable is used where smoke behaviour matters, SWA is used for sub-mains and external runs, and MICC or fire-rated cable is used where circuits have to survive a fire. Distribution is designed rather than assembled: main switch and incoming protection, correctly rated sub-mains, TP&N or SP&N boards depending on the load, RCBO protection where required, surge protection where equipment justifies it, and clear labelling and schedules so isolation is instant. Three-phase supplies for machinery are set out with the correct isolators, local isolation at the machine and cable sized for the actual duty rather than the nameplate alone. Lighting is designed for the task: linear LED in warehousing, panels and suspended fittings in offices, track and accent lighting in retail, IP-rated fittings in kitchens and wash-down areas, with presence detection and daylight control where hours are long. Emergency lighting and fire detection are integrated as part of the same package where they are in scope, so the interfaces are tested and documented together. ### Variations of this service Fit-outs and refurbishmentsFull electrical package for a new or reconfigured unit: containment, small power, lighting, data containment, boards, testing and handover documentation. Distribution board replacementObsolete or full boards replaced, circuits identified, tested and re-labelled, with the changeover timed for minimum interruption. Machine and equipment suppliesSingle and three-phase supplies, local isolation and correctly sized cabling for production, catering and workshop equipment. Planned and reactive maintenanceCall-off work, fault attendance, lamp and fitting replacement, and remedial work following inspection reports. Compliance testingPeriodic inspection, emergency lighting testing and fire alarm testing on documented intervals. ### In homes Domestic work is priced per job and finished around the household; the emphasis is decoration, dust and getting rooms back into use. ### In commercial premises Commercial work is priced around programme, access and downtime. Documentation, labelling and future capacity are as much of the deliverable as the installation itself.
