Commercial electrical work has to fit around a business that is either already trading or trying to open on a fixed date. Planning, communication and tidy, well-documented installations matter as much as the wiring.
Typical commercial work
- Office fit-outs and refurbishments: small power, floor boxes, data containment, meeting room and kitchen supplies
- Retail: display and track lighting, tills and equipment, shopfront and signage supplies
- Hospitality: kitchens, bar equipment, feature and dimmed lighting, outdoor areas
- Workshops and studios: three-phase supplies, machinery isolation, task lighting
- Distribution: new or replacement distribution boards, sub-mains and submetering
How we run commercial work
Survey and scope. We visit, review existing drawings and records, and agree what is in and out of scope in writing.
Programme. Shutdowns are planned and communicated. Phased work keeps parts of the premises trading.
Site standards. Risk assessments and method statements, tidy working areas and clear handover each day.
Documentation. Certificates, updated board schedules and as-installed information, so the next person who works on the installation can understand it.
