About us

We price it properly, staff it properly and certify it as we go.

Fixed pricing, measured from your drawings. Directly employed engineers on every site. Certification that runs alongside the install, not after it. One team from tender to certificate.

On budget

Priced from the drawings.

We measure everything before we quote. Exclusions are listed on page one, not buried in the appendix. The price you accept is the price you pay.

On programme

Our own engineers on site.

Directly employed and booked to your dates. Agency labour drifts to whichever site pays best — ours doesn’t, because it’s ours.

Signed off

Certified as the job runs.

NICEIC testing, DNO paperwork and handover packs done alongside the install. The certificate arrives at completion, not after three weeks of chasing.

Process

From enquiry to handover.

Five stages, each ending with something in your hands — a price, a programme, a certificate.

  1. Enquiry & scoping

    Send us the tender pack or talk us through the site. We confirm scope, programme fit and budget range — and tell you straight if we’re not the right fit.

  2. Survey & fixed design

    Engineers survey the site, then produce the technical design and fixed price from a full take-off. For solar, the G99 application goes in now — grid approval is the long lead, so we start it before anything else waits on it.

  3. Pre-start

    RAMS, CDM documentation and programme agreed before day one. Your site team knows who’s arriving, when, and what they’re doing.

  4. Installation

    Directly employed engineers, working to your programme with weekly progress reporting. Testing runs alongside the install, not after it.

  5. Handover & aftercare

    NICEIC certification, O&M documentation and warranties issued at completion. One number to call afterwards — and someone who was on the job answers it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes — it’s a large part of what we do. We price from your tender pack, provide RAMS and CDM documentation before start, and work to your programme with weekly reporting. We also deliver directly for end clients on their own sites.

Yes. Installs are phased around your operating hours and site access — planned before we start, not negotiated on day one. For schools we work to term dates; for commercial sites, out-of-hours and sectional handovers where needed.

We do. G99 applications, capacity assessments and DNO liaison are part of our scope, and for solar the application goes in at design stage — grid approval is usually the longest lead in the programme, so it starts first.

Fixed, from a full take-off. We measure everything before we quote, exclusions are listed up front, and the price you accept is the price you pay. No day-rate drift, no re-measures halfway through.
