Questions people ask before booking
Can commercial electrical work be planned outside trading hours?
Where availability and the work allow it, isolation can be planned around operations. Share the required access window when requesting the assessment; after-hours work must be agreed for the specific job.
What records help a commercial electrician?
Single-line diagrams, board schedules, equipment ratings, previous reports, fault logs, tenant contacts and access rules can shorten investigation and prevent duplicated work.
Do you offer commercial maintenance?
Yes. The useful scope depends on site use, exposure, critical equipment and repair history. A maintenance plan should prioritise actual risk and interruption points rather than apply one checklist to every site.
Can you issue an electrical CoC for commercial premises?
A CoC follows inspection and testing by an appropriately registered person. Existing defects may require correction and retesting before a certificate can be issued.
