Commercial Electriciansin Great Houghton

New units and refurbishments usually need a full review of power and lighting layout, often alongside other trades. We work to BS 7671 and design circuits around the equipment you're installing, from kitchen appliances to retail lighting and till points.

Timescales depend on the size of the unit and how much coordination is needed with other contractors, but we'll give you a clear timeline before work starts.

Industrial and larger commercial units often run on three-phase supplies to support machinery, HVAC or heavy equipment. Our Gold Card electricians are experienced with three-phase distribution, isolation and load balancing across phases.

Adding equipment to an existing three-phase installation requires checking available capacity and balancing new loads correctly, which is something we assess before quoting any work.

Commercial properties typically need periodic inspection and testing more frequently than domestic ones, often driven by insurance requirements or sector-specific guidance. One of our team holds City & Guilds 2391 Inspection and Testing and carries out EICRs for commercial and industrial clients.

PAT testing is also common in commercial settings, covering portable appliances from kettles to power tools, and is usually scheduled alongside other compliance work.

Many commercial premises have emergency lighting and fire alarm systems that interact with the main electrical installation. We check these connections as part of fit-out and maintenance work so that life safety systems function correctly when needed.

Testing and certification of these systems is carried out as part of the wider compliance picture for the building.

We understand that closing for electrical work isn't always practical. Where it's safe to do so, we schedule work outside peak trading hours, in phases, or overnight within our Monday to Sunday, 6am to 10pm working window.

For multi-site businesses, we can coordinate visits across several locations within Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Milton Keynes, Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire.

Commercial electrical work is rarely just about the installation itself. The bigger cost to most businesses is disruption: a shop that cannot trade, an office where staff cannot work, or a unit where machinery sits idle. That is why every commercial job starts with a conversation about how your site operates, when it is busiest, and which circuits cannot be switched off without warning.

With working hours of 6am to 10pm, seven days a week, we can often schedule isolations and noisy work for early mornings, evenings or weekends, so the work fits around your trading rather than the other way round. Where a shutdown is unavoidable, we agree the time and duration with you in advance and keep you updated at every stage, so there are no surprises for your staff or customers.

When the work is finished, we test and verify the installation, walk you through what has been done, and leave the area clean and tidy. Customers regularly mention that we are tidy, punctual and polite, and on a commercial site that matters just as much as it does in someone's home.
