Why clients use us

• BAFE registered, with certification issued to scheme requirements
• We are electrical contractors as well as fire specialists, so the containment, supplies and interfacing are done properly rather than subcontracted out
• Experienced in period properties and conversions — Georgian and Victorian terraces, warehouse conversions, tight risers and listed fabric are routine for us
• Discreet, tidy working in occupied flats, communal areas and trading premises
• Directly managed engineers — the same team throughout
• Out-of-hours working where access to occupied flats needs arranging or trading can't be interrupted
