Electrical service
Electrical work for business premises
Shops, salons, offices, treatment rooms and small units. One electrician who knows the building, rather than a different face each visit.

The size of job I am right for
Small premises, mostly. Shops, salons, cafés, offices, treatment rooms, a unit on a small estate, the commercial half of a mixed-use building. The sort of place where the owner wants one electrician who turns up, does the work and can be rung afterwards.
I am a sole trader, and I would rather say plainly what that means: if your job needs a team on site for weeks, a specific sector accreditation, or work in an environment with its own safety regime, I am not the right person and I will tell you so rather than take it on. For everything below that line, you get somebody who knows the building because he wired it.
What that usually involves
Additional power where a layout has changed. Lighting, including swapping tired fittings for something that costs less to run. Inspection and testing of the installation. Distribution board work. Faults, which in a business tend to be more urgent because they stop you trading. Alterations when you take on a unit and the last occupier left it arranged for a different use entirely.
Trading hours
Where the work would disrupt customers, it is usually possible to do the noisy or power-off part outside your opening hours. It depends on the week and what else I have booked, so ask and I will tell you honestly whether I can fit it rather than promise and let you down.
Landlords of commercial units
If you let the premises rather than occupy them, the practical questions are usually about testing between tenants and who pays for what. Happy to talk that through.
How it works
How commercial jobs usually run
You tell me about the premises
What it is, what needs doing, and whether you can be shut while I do it.
I look at it
For anything beyond a small job, seeing it is quicker than describing it.
You get a price and a plan
Including when the power would need to be off, and for how long.

Questions
Questions from business customers
What size of premises do you take on?
Small commercial, generally — shops, offices, salons, treatment rooms, small units. If a job genuinely needs a team or a specific sector accreditation I will say so and point you elsewhere.
Can you work outside our opening hours?
Often, yes, particularly for the disruptive parts. It depends what else is booked that week, so ask early and I will give you a straight answer rather than a maybe.
Do you invoice a business account?
Yes. You get a proper invoice from Firefly Energy Ltd with the company number on it, which is usually what your bookkeeper wants.
We are a landlord letting commercial units. Can you help?
Yes — usually testing between tenants and sorting out whatever the last occupier left behind. Worth a conversation about what you need and when.
Work needed at your premises?
Tell me what it is and I will come back to you.
