Retail and trade park testing, high bay lighting and workplace EV charging. Need a commercial electrician in Hedge End or Botley? MCI Electrical carries out electrical testing, fault finding, emergency lighting, distribution upgrades, LED projects and workplace charger installations. The business works with shops, offices, warehouses and commercial units across both areas, planning each job around the premises and its operating needs. Hedge End is big retail and trade. Hedge End Retail Park, the trade counters along Charles Watts Way and the units on Tollbar Way are large single storey buildings with deep car parks. Botley is different again: village workshops, Botley Mills and mixed use buildings on older supplies. Big units run their high bay lighting every trading hour, so a relamp pays back faster here than almost anywhere. The car parks have room and supply capacity for charge points. Older Botley buildings are the opposite problem: full boards with no spare ways when you want one more circuit. ## Local homes in Hedge End and Botley At Hedge End Retail Park and along Charles Watts Way and Tollbar Way it is high bay lighting, yard lighting, roller shutters and outside circuits taking more weather than they were meant to.

Yes, and the car parks around Hedge End Retail Park and Tollbar Way are well suited to it, with room for the run and usually the supply capacity to feed it. I check the incoming supply and existing load first, then quote for what the site can actually take. ### Can lighting work be done outside trading hours? Yes. Early mornings, evenings and Sundays are all normal for retail and trade units, and it is usually the cheaper way round because nothing has to be worked around. If the date needs to move, rescheduling is free. ### Our board is full and we need another circuit. What now? I come and look before quoting anything. Sometimes there is a way to free up capacity, sometimes the honest answer is a new board fed by a new cable. Either way you get the options in plain English with a price on each, and the quote is free. ### Do you do commercial kitchen work? Yes. Kitchens and food businesses along the Botley Road and in Hedge End often have extraction, fryers and cold storage on circuits never designed for that load. I test what is there, tell you what is holding up and what is not, and put it right. ## Business facts - Based: 1 The Drove, Horton Heath, Eastleigh, SO50 7NX - Service area: Eastleigh, Whiteley and Segensworth, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End and Botley, Southampton and the docks - Hours: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri 09:00–17:00 - Phone: +447366896562 - Email: team@mci-electrical.co.uk - Years of experience: 17 - Pricing rules: 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. ## Request a quote - [Start a request](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and request a quote from MCI Electrical. ## Sitemap - [Full sitemap](https://mci-electrical.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
