Electrical Testing and Inspection
As NICEIC-approved contractors, we conduct comprehensive electrical testing and inspection to BS-7671 standards. Our engineers produce installation condition reports and Part P notifications on-site using digital portals. This ensures compliance for both new builds and existing installations across commercial and heritage properties.
Electric Vehicle Charging
We install OLEV-approved electric vehicle charge points for residential and commercial clients. Offering smart and standard units from manufacturers like Rolec and Podpoint, we provide full design consultation and grant application assistance. Our solutions integrate with existing electrical systems while future-proofing infrastructure.
Heritage Building Electrification
Specialising in listed buildings, we implement discreet electrical systems that preserve architectural integrity. Using techniques like magnetic acrylic fixings, we upgrade outdated installations in museums and cathedrals while maintaining heritage compliance and modern safety standards.
Maintenance and Reactive Works
We provide planned maintenance programmes and 24/7 reactive services for universities, colleges, and property management firms. Our rapid response team handles emergency lighting, PAT testing, and system repairs across Oxfordshire with same-day call-out availability.
Energy Auditing
Our energy audits identify cost-saving opportunities through LED retrofits and smart monitoring systems. We analyse electrical circuits to recommend upgrades that reduce consumption while providing detailed ROI calculations for commercial and domestic clients.
