Commercial Electrical Contractor in Swindon

Swindon's working economy

Swindon grew as a railway town around the Great Western Railway works, and today Swindon Borough Council's area is home to a wide range of employers, including BMW's Mini plant at Stratton, Nationwide, Zurich, W H Smith's distribution centre and head office, and the head offices of the National Trust and the UK Space Agency. With M4 junctions 15 and 16 on the edge of town, there is a large stock of offices, warehouses and distribution units serving businesses of every size.

We mention these only to describe the local economy; they are not our clients. Our work in Swindon is for businesses that need a commercial electrical contractor for their own premises.

Warehouses and distribution units

Warehouse and distribution units need reliable three-phase supplies, distribution boards sized for the equipment, and lighting that works at height. We install and upgrade high bay LED lighting, often with presence and daylight controls to cut running costs, and run power to racking, dock levellers, charging areas for forklifts and office mezzanines.

Where a unit is changing hands, the incoming tenant usually needs the installation adapted, new sub-distribution boards added and the existing system tested before it is relied on.

Offices and business parks

Office work in Swindon ranges from small suites to whole floors. Typical jobs include lighting replacements, small power and floor boxes for new desk layouts, and data cabling and patch panels, with the IT equipment installed by your own IT team. We work around occupied buildings, agreeing shutdowns in advance.

Testing and maintenance

Commercial properties need periodic inspection and testing, usually at intervals set by the insurer, the landlord or the type of premises. We carry out the testing, provide the report and quote separately for any remedial work. Board schedules are updated as part of the job, so maintenance staff and future contractors can identify each circuit quickly. For multi-unit estates, testing can be phased so that only one tenant is affected at a time.
