Tell us what you run

Send a photo of your consumer unit and the rating plate on each machine. The plate shows the amps or kW, which tells us what each socket needs before we visit.

Questions

What is a commando socket?

The round industrial socket, blue for 230 V, that takes 16 A or 32 A plugs to BS EN 60309. Welders, compressors and site tools come with these plugs because a normal 13 A socket cannot supply them safely.

Do I need an isolator for my compressor?

A machine that is wired in should have its own isolator close by, so it can be switched off and locked off while someone works on it. We fit a rotary isolator where it is easy to reach.

Is my supply big enough?

We check your consumer unit and the incoming supply first. If a 32 A welder or another big load needs more, we tell you before any work is priced.

Do you do garages at home as well as units?

Yes. A garage at home, a workshop or a small industrial unit is the same work to us.

How is it priced?

Every workshop is different, so we come and look first. The visit is free and you get a written price within 24 hours.
