Understand the quote
What affects the scope and price?
A commercial quote should reflect the premises and the working arrangements. Access restrictions, shutdown windows, site requirements and phased work can affect the cost as much as the visible installation.
The quote takes account of:
premises and circuit scope; access and operating hours; equipment and isolation needs; inspection or installation documentation.
Send a short site brief.
Provide the site contact, operating hours, the equipment involved and any inspection or installation records.
- Premises address, use and responsible contact.
- Description or drawings of the intended changes.
- Previous reports and available circuit information.
- Operating hours, shutdown restrictions and access requirements.
Practical answers
Questions before you book.
Can work be planned around business hours?
Discuss the required times and site constraints. Suitable arrangements depend on the work and availability; they should be confirmed before booking.
Ask Max about thisDo you inspect commercial premises?
Commercial electrical inspections are within the service scope. Share the premises details, number of boards and any previous report to define the inspection.
Ask Max about thisCan you provide both EICR and PAT testing?
Both are offered, but they assess different things and need separate scopes. Fixed installations and portable equipment should not be treated as one interchangeable inspection.
Ask Max about thisDo you carry out electrical work in community buildings?
Yes. Explain how the building is used, who can authorise the work and when rooms are available. Shared users, room bookings and equipment that needs to stay running should be included in the access and shutdown plan.
Ask Max about thisWhat should a commercial electrical quote include?
Ask for the affected areas, circuits and equipment, the work included, exclusions, shutdown arrangements and handover documents. Clarify access equipment and making good where relevant. For occupied premises, identify the person authorised to approve extra work and the systems that must be considered before isolation.
Ask Max about thisCan you carry out electrical work in a rented business unit?
Discuss the proposed changes with the landlord or managing agent and check the lease arrangements before authorising them. Share any approval requirements, building rules and existing reports with Max. Responsibility for common areas or incoming supplies may sit outside the part of the building you occupy.
Ask Max about thisCan I add more power sockets when rearranging an office?
Yes, additional points can be discussed alongside the new desk and equipment layout. Existing circuits need assessment; more socket outlets do not create more electrical capacity. Share the equipment list, furniture plan and intended moving date so the installation can be scoped around the change.
