Proper lighting is essential for effective learning. We offer energy-efficient LED lighting installations that improve visibility, reduce energy costs, and enhance the

overall ambience of classrooms, corridors, and common areas. Our solutions help schools lower their carbon footprint while providing a comfortable environment for students and staff.

Inspection and Testing Services

Regular inspections are essential for maintaining safety and compliance in schools. We conduct thorough Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), PAT testing,

and other necessary safety checks to ensure that electrical systems remain safe and compliant. Our detailed reports give schools and administrators the information

needed to address potential issues proactively.

Data Cabling and Network Infrastructure

Connectivity is increasingly important in modern education. We provide data cabling and network infrastructure installations to support IT systems, smart boards, and

digital learning tools. Our reliable data solutions ensure that students and staff have the connectivity needed to access digital resources, fostering a productive and

connected learning environment.

Security and Access Control Systems

Protecting students and staff is a priority for all educational institutions. We design and install CCTV, access control, and intrusion detection systems that meet the

security needs of schools and universities, helping to create safe, controlled environments and monitor access to restricted areas.

Working in educational environments requires sensitivity, flexibility, and a deep understanding of safety regulations. Our approach to each project is built around collaboration, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety and minimal disruption:

Student and Staff-Centred Service

Our team coordinates closely with school administrators to schedule work during convenient times, including holiday breaks or after school hours, to minimise disruption to learning activities.

Compliance with Educational Safety Standards

Safety is our highest priority, and we strictly adhere to UK regulations and safety standards, including BS 7671 Wiring Regulations. Our accreditations, such as NIC EIC and CHAS, reflect our dedication to maintaining safe environments for educational institutions, protecting students, staff, and visitors alike.

Clear communication is essential when working with schools. We provide regular updates on project progress and ensure that administrators are informed of any

necessary actions or maintenance needs. Our detailed reports support effective facility management, providing a clear record of system status and compliance.
