Commercial electrician in Eastleigh

I have worked on commercial premises across Eastleigh and Southampton since 2009. I quote the job, do the work and sign it off myself, so you always deal with the person who knows your building.

  • Fixed wire testing is priced on the number of boards and circuits, not by the hour.
  • Emergency lighting is priced per light, and the three hour test is priced separately.
  • Repairs are priced item by item off the report, so you choose what to do and when.
  • Work outside your trading hours costs a different rate, and I tell you what it is before I set off.
  • Quotes are free, rescheduling is free, and there is no callout fee.

Fixed wire testing

  • Managers book when the last certificate has run out, or when insurers and landlords ask for a current report on the wiring.
  • A new lease, a new occupier or a shop fit often needs a fresh look at the circuits, sockets and lighting before staff move in.
  • Machinery, three phase boards and older distribution equipment need a recorded inspection so faults are found before they stop production.
  • Owners of units around Eastleigh and the Southampton docks book so tenants have a current report for the installation they occupy.

Emergency lighting testing

  • Units around the railway, the town centre and the trading estates need a timed test of the maintained and non-maintained fittings, including the high-level ones over the workshop floor.
  • High Street premises, takeaways and pubs book a test before a licensing visit or when the fire risk assessor has asked for a fresh certificate on the escape lighting.
  • High-bay fittings and long escape routes in Hedge End, Whiteley and the Southampton dock sheds need a duration run so you know the lamps still last the required time.
  • A refit, a new partition or a changed fire exit means the emergency lighting layout has changed. We test the new positions before you reopen the floor.

Distribution board replacement

  • When a fixed wire test finds a worn, damaged or overloaded board, we change it so the next inspection can pass.
  • Warm busbars, buzzing breakers and trips in an Eastleigh workshop or shop usually mean the board has reached the end of its life.
  • A new compressor, oven or three phase machine often needs extra ways and a higher rated incoming device.
  • New offices in Whiteley, units in Hedge End and dockside space in Southampton often start with a new board before the rest of the electrical work.
