Milton Keynes is an hour and a quarter from Birmingham and we reach it either way: down the M1 from the north or across from Northampton. It is a city built for commercial tenants, with office parks around the centre and at Knowlhill, Linford Wood and Shenley Wood, logistics and manufacturing at Kiln Farm, Bletchley, Tongwell and Magna Park, and new commercial space going up all the time. Most of what we do there is fit-out and compliance work to a landlord's or a main contractor's programme.
What we do in Milton Keynes
- Office and industrial electrical installations: fit-outs, distribution upgrades, lighting with controls, machine and dock supplies, EV charging in car parks, and the five-yearly EICR for managed buildings.
- Fire alarms interfaced to a landlord's system in a multi-tenant building, or standalone for a unit.
- Emergency lighting to BS 5266-1, installed and tested annually.
- Structured cabling, comms rooms and Wi-Fi for offices, laid out so the next tenant's IT provider can work with it.
- Access control for multi-tenant buildings, car park barriers and yards.
- CCTV for car parks, lobbies, yards and retail.
Working to a fit-out programme
A Milton Keynes office fit-out usually comes with drawings, a specification and a date the tenant moves in. We price from the drawings, say where the design could be better, then build what was agreed, attend the progress meetings and produce the O&M information as the work goes rather than in the last week. Testing is done as each area finishes and the certificates are issued at practical completion, which is what the landlord's agent needs before the lease is signed off.
Bletchley, Wolverton and the older towns
The towns the new city was built around have older stock: workshops, high street shops, practices and converted houses. The work there is more often bringing an installation up to standard, with an EICR first and the remedial work priced item by item.
