Commercial electrical work for Cambridge buildings
Cambridge's science parks, college buildings and fast-growing residential edges create demand for everything from aspirating detection in labs to landlord compliance in shared houses.
Fire safety and electrical safety overlap more than most people expect. Faulty wiring is a common cause of fires, cable installations can break compartment lines, and plastic cable clips in escape routes can drop cables during a fire and trap firefighters. Since 2019, BS 7671 has required wiring systems in escape routes to be supported against premature collapse.
Our electricians clear EICR remedials, upgrade distribution boards, replace landlord supplies in blocks of flats, fire-stop service penetrations they have created, and install fire-rated containment. Every job comes with the right BS 7671 certificate.
The rules that apply in Cambridge
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, and give tenants a copy of the report.
