Electrician in Chandlers Ford
- We do commercial electrical and data work for the offices, trade units, shops and depots of Chandlers Ford.
- Floors at Hampshire Corporate Park and Templars Way share one landlord board, so extra load traces back to it.
- Thirty years of lathes, compressors and spray booths have filled the boards on that industrial estate.
- Food and retail units run grills, fryers and extraction on circuits originally sized for lights and a till.

What happens on the day
The Chandlers Ford address on the booking is where we start, and the paperwork ends up with whoever owns the building or the tenancy.
- 01
Meeting on site
The landlord, facilities contact or occupier meets us at Hampshire Corporate Park, School Close, Tollgate, Bournemouth Road or wherever the job is. The board, the circuits and the plant named on the booking get walked first, and the starting figure is confirmed out loud before anything is switched off. Where the building is let floor by floor, which board belongs to whom gets settled at that point rather than halfway through, because a landlord board sitting behind three tenants is easy to trip by accident.
- 02
The electrical work
For an inspection the circuits are examined and measured and the observations written as they are found. For a board change, three phase run, charge point, lighting, cabling or shop refit the ways come off, the work goes in, and the circuits come back up in a sequence the occupier can trade around. Kitchen units on Bournemouth Road usually need a dedicated feed rather than another spur, so that gets separated out instead of being hung off the till circuit.
- 03
Certificate before we leave
The document that matches the job is issued on the day: a wiring report, an escape lighting certificate, an appliance schedule, or an installation certificate for a new board, charge point, lighting or cabling run. NICEIC registration covers the notifiable side of that. Where a part has to be ordered, what is outstanding is written down with a price so the return visit is booked against a real list instead of a memory.

Electrician in Chandlers Ford questions
These are the questions landlords, tenants and trade occupiers here ask before we attend.
How much is a commercial EICR in Chandlers Ford?+
The wiring inspection is priced from £195 for a single small installation. On Hampshire Corporate Park the landlord often keeps one report for the whole building while each floor has its own occupier, so what gets tested is settled at the door. Only the circuits belonging to the job are inspected, the findings are written up plainly, and repairs the report calls for are charged at £65 an hour.
Who holds the test on a shared office on Hampshire Corporate Park?+
On those 1980s and 1990s corporate park buildings the landlord usually keeps the wiring report for the whole structure and the tenant holds the appliance list for their own floor. Either job can be done, or both on the same morning, which saves a second visit for a building where the plant room is behind a locked landlord door. What matters is that the split is written down so neither side assumes the other did it.
Can you add a machine circuit on School Close without a new board?+
Sometimes. On many School Close units the board filled up years ago after piecemeal machine work, so there is nothing left to use. Where a spare way exists, a supply for one machine is priced from £480. Where there is none, a replacement board is priced from £950, and three phase power if the machine demands it is priced from £1,400. The board gets opened and counted before any of those figures is written.
How much is emergency lighting testing?+
Testing the battery lighting and issuing the certificate is priced from £145. A new installation, where a unit has nothing over its fire exits or a stair has gone dark, is priced from £195. Warehouses on Tollgate and Chandlers Ford Industrial Estate have fittings high above the floor, so reaching them properly is part of the visit rather than a glance from ground level at a green lamp.
Do you fit EV chargers at Chandlers Ford offices and depots?+
Yes. A workplace charge point, grant backed jobs included, is priced from £1,250 where the board has a suitable way and the run to the bay is short. Depot charging for a yard of overnight vans is charged at £75 an hour, because the cable run changes with every plot. The incoming supply is measured first, since a full board is a board change before it is a charging job.
What does PAT testing cost for a tenanted suite on Hursley Road?+
Appliance testing is priced from £95. That is the tenant half of a suite where the landlord already keeps the wiring report, and it covers kettles, heaters, monitors, chargers and any tools kept in the cupboard. Each item is checked at the plug and the flex before the tests are run, passes are marked with a date, and failures are tagged and listed against the room they were found in.
How much is a shop electrical fit out on Bournemouth Road?+
A full refit of a retail unit is priced from £2,400 and covers lighting, counters, shutters and till points. Changing a ceiling on the same road to LED is priced from £480. Where a new grill or dishwasher keeps tripping the board that also feeds the till, tracing it is charged at £75 an hour and the answer is almost always a dedicated feed rather than another spur off a tired circuit.
Are you NICEIC and when can I call?+
NICEIC is the registration we carry, and no other scheme is claimed. Calls are answered at any hour of the day or night. Booked work such as testing, a board change or a refit sits in opening hours so the building can be walked with your people and the isolation planned. Coming out after hours to a live fault is charged at £105 an hour and is a separate booking.
