Installations and alterations
A new fit-out or a change of layout puts fresh demands on a building's electrics. Our Maidstone team plans the installation around how your premises actually work, rather than simply adding to what's already there. Fitting extra circuits to an overloaded board might work on day one, but it often causes problems later.
- New circuits and distribution boards for extensions and fit-outs
- Consumer unit and distribution board upgrades
- Additional sockets, data points and power supplies
- Lighting installations, including display, task and emergency lighting
- Alterations to existing wiring when a layout changes
- Wiring for new units, offices and workshops
Commercial Electrical Repairs and Fault Finding
A fault costs you trading hours, and sometimes a good deal more. Our Maidstone team traces problems back to the cause rather than the symptom — resetting a breaker or swapping out a socket without finding out why it failed only buys you a few days.We're most often called out to:
- Loss of power across part of a building
- Breakers or RCDs that keep tripping
- Faulty sockets and switches
- Flickering, dim or dead lighting
- Burning smells, hot accessories or buzzing
- Damaged fittings and accessories
- Equipment that trips a circuit the moment it's switched on
Distribution boards and consumer units
Larger premises rely on distribution boards to feed and protect separate areas and circuits. Boards age, and older protective devices often no longer meet what the building is being asked to do.If yours needs replacing, extending or upgrading, we'll survey the existing installation first and set out the options. That might mean a board replacement, upgraded protective devices, additional or altered circuits, improved protection — and testing and certification once the work is signed off.
Electrical Work for Offices and Retail Premises
Shops and offices need wiring that quietly supports everything else: lighting, workstations, tills, display units, kitchen equipment and comms. We work in offices, shops and retail units, commercial buildings, landlord-owned property, small business premises and workshops — adding sockets and circuits, fitting lighting, making alterations, carrying out repairs and handling testing.
Planned maintenance
Problems are cheaper to find than to fix. A maintenance programme keeps small faults from becoming shutdowns, and spreads the cost across the year.Programmes typically cover periodic inspections, fault finding, lighting repairs, socket and switch replacement, distribution board checks, emergency lighting tests, testing and certification, and any remedial work that follows.
Commercial EICRs
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough health check on your fixed wiring, and for any business it is well worth having. As NICEIC registered electricians, we carry out commercial EICRs across Maidstone and Kent, picking up shock risks, overloaded circuits, loose connections and deteriorating cable before they turn into a fire or an unplanned shutdown. It also helps employers and landlords meet their legal duties on electrical safety under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and gives you a dated, documented record of your installation's true condition that insurers, auditors and anyone buying or leasing the premises will want to see. As a general rule, commercial installations should be inspected at least every five years, though your insurer, licensing conditions, a change of use or the type of premises may call for one sooner.
