Commercial Fit-Out Specialist.
I served as a Retained Firefighter with Brechin Fire Service and a Royal Air Force Electrical Engineer. I know exactly what commercial premises need to pass inspection.
When I wire your shop, I don't just install lights and sockets. I ensure you meet emergency lighting regulations, fire alarm requirements, and building control standards. Your opening day is stressful enough without failing electrical inspections. I get it right first time.
