Wolverhampton is twenty minutes up the A41 from our base and a large part of our industrial work. The estates along the A454 Willenhall Road, the A449 Stafford Road and around Bilston and Wednesfield are full of engineering, metal finishing, fabrication and distribution businesses in buildings that have been extended, re-roofed and re-purposed several times, and whose electrical installations tell that story. The city centre has offices, a university, hotels and venues, and the suburbs have the dental practices, clinics and converted houses that the rest of our work comes from.
What we do in Wolverhampton
- Industrial and commercial electrical installations: three-phase distribution, machine supplies, high-bay lighting, EICRs and the remedial work from them.
- Fire alarms for factories, warehouses, offices and HMOs, including beam and aspirating detection where a point detector cannot reach.
- Emergency lighting across production floors and in windowless areas.
- Networking across large floors: fibre between cabinets, rugged outlets at machines, Wi-Fi for scanners.
- Access control on gates, offices, stores and tool cribs, with time zones for shifts.
- CCTV for yards, loading bays and perimeters, with ANPR on the gate.
Working on a Wolverhampton industrial unit
The usual starting point is a building whose supply, boards and cabling have grown by accretion: a board added for each new machine, a sub-main run along the wall when the last one ran out, and no drawing of any of it. The first job is to survey it properly and produce the drawing that should have existed. From there the work is planned so that it needs as few shutdowns as possible, and the shutdowns are used fully: a new board built and tested beside the old one, and the changeover in one planned window at the weekend or overnight.
Commercial Wolverhampton
In the city centre, Chapel Ash, Tettenhall, Penn and Compton the work is offices, clinics, dental practices, restaurants and bars, with the same approach we take in Birmingham: planned around trading hours, handed over with the certificates, and maintained on a schedule we keep.
