Commercial Electrical Installations
We design and implement comprehensive electrical systems for commercial buildings including offices, healthcare facilities, and sports venues. Our BIM-enabled approach ensures precision through 3D modelling and clash detection. With in-house capabilities covering calculations, drawings, and O&M manuals, we deliver compliant installations that meet modern energy efficiency standards while maintaining operational continuity for businesses.
Domestic Rewiring
Our NICEIC-registered team provides full and partial rewiring services for residential properties. From consumer unit upgrades to complete system replacements, we ensure safety compliance and modern functionality. All work includes thorough testing and certification, with minimal disruption to homeowners. We also offer smart home integration and outdoor lighting solutions for enhanced property value and security.
BIM Services
We utilise Building Information Modelling for precision electrical design across all project scales. Our Revit and Navisworks expertise enables 3D coordination with other trades, reducing onsite conflicts. This digital approach improves cost predictability and allows clients to visualise final installations. We create detailed elevation drawings and custom Revit families to meet specific project requirements while aligning with government Digital Built Britain standards.
LED Lighting Upgrades
We implement energy-efficient LED solutions for both commercial and domestic settings. Our lighting calculations ensure optimal illumination levels while reducing energy consumption. Services include retrofitting existing systems, smart lighting controls, and outdoor security lighting. All installations comply with current regulations and include full testing documentation to guarantee safety and performance standards for residential and business environments.
Consumer Unit Replacements
We upgrade outdated consumer units to modern safety standards, incorporating RCD protection and circuit optimisation. Our electricians handle full system isolation and reconnection while maintaining safety protocols. Each upgrade includes comprehensive testing and certification, with clear explanations of new features to property owners. We ensure compliance with BS 7671 regulations for both domestic and commercial electrical systems.

Our elderly mother has been a customer of Barrie Beard for many years. We wanted to say a big thankyou to Rob Davenport who came out recently at short notice to fit more sockets to facilitate support aids for her. His work is of the highest standard, being thorough, safe and professional. Plus Rob reassured our mother throughout, explaining the work he was doing. Rob is completely trustworthy and we have no hesitation in recommending Barrie Beard. Thankyou so much!
