Electricians for Schools and Education in Surrey
DBS checked electricians working after school, at weekends and through the holidays so teaching is not interrupted.
About us
About Us
We are commercial electrical contractors working across Surrey. We work in businesses, schools, shops, offices and hospitality premises: buildings that have to keep operating while the electrical work happens. That single constraint shapes almost everything about how we run a job.
Registered & checked
Why we work this way
The jobs that go wrong are almost never the technical ones
Ask any commercial client about a bad experience with an electrical contractor and you will rarely hear about incorrect work. You will hear that nobody turned up on the day, that the shop lost a trading afternoon nobody warned them about, that the certificate took six weeks to arrive, or that the job was priced for an empty building and carried out in a full one.
That is the gap we set out to work in. The electrical competence is the baseline. It is what registration and certification exist to demonstrate, and no client should have to think about it. What actually determines whether a job goes well is everything around it: understanding when your building is available, telling you honestly what will happen, and handing the space back in a state you can put people back into.
So the questions we ask at survey tend to be about your operation rather than your electrics. When do you open? Who has to sign this off? Which areas cannot lose power at the same time? Who is in the building while we are here? The answers change the price and the programme, and it is better to have them before you commit than halfway through.
We would rather have an awkward conversation about access at the quotation stage than a difficult one on site in week two.
Accreditations
What we hold, and exactly what each one covers
Accreditation logos are easy to display and easy to overstate. Here is what each of ours actually means, including where the scope is narrower than the logo might suggest.
- NICEIC. Our primary electrical credential and the one that matters most for commercial work. NICEIC certification is used to document electrical installation, alteration, inspection and testing work carried out to the applicable electrical safety standards. In practice, this is what stands behind the Electrical Installation Certificates, Minor Works Certificates and Electrical Installation Condition Reports we issue.
- Electrical Safety First. A registered electrician listing with the electrical safety charity. It is a public-facing registration rather than a technical scope in itself.
- Registered Competent Person Electrical. Worth being precise about: this register is primarily concerned with domestic electrical work in England and Wales. It is not a commercial accreditation and we do not present it as one. For commercial work, NICEIC registration is the credential that applies.
- DBS checked. Our electricians are DBS checked, which matters most on school and education sites where you need to know who is on your premises and be able to show your safeguarding lead. It is also relevant in any building where the public or vulnerable people are present while we work.
- Aico Expert Installer. Aico training relates to smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. It is a supplementary competence signal, and it is a different thing from commercial fire alarm systems, and we do not use it as evidence for that work. Our commercial fire alarm systems page sets out what we take on there and what we would refer elsewhere.
Why spell this out? Because you can check it, and because a contractor who is careful about the limits of their own credentials is usually careful about other things too.
Recent work
Four jobs, four different sets of constraints
These are real projects, described as what they actually were.
Being clear about scope
What we do not do
Nearly every contractor website lists what it can do. Rather fewer say where the edges are, which is at least as useful when you are deciding who to call.
Commercial premises are our specialism. This website is about commercial work, and that is where the great majority of our time goes. It is what we plan for, price for and staff for.
We are not gas or catering engineers. In a commercial kitchen we provide the electrical supply, the isolation and the controls, including the electrical side of the gas interlock. Commissioning and servicing the appliances themselves belongs to the specialists who supplied them.
We will refer complex fire systems work on. Where a building needs a fire engineering design or a third-party certificated fire systems design, we will tell you at the enquiry rather than take it on.
We will tell you when repairs are enough. If your installation does not need a rewire, we will say so, even where the larger job would be the more profitable recommendation.
Working with us
How easy it is to work with us

Send us the premises type, what you need doing and when you need it done. If you have drawings, a schedule or a previous report, send those too.

We survey and estimate
We look at the installation, agree the scope with you and put it in writing. You get an estimate you can take to whoever signs it off.
