1) What Electrical Work is Entailed in Academies?

Modern academies require far more than basic lighting and sockets. Our specialist electrical installation work includes:

  • Distribution boards and sub-mains – ensuring balanced, safe supply throughout classrooms, offices, and communal areas.
  • Containment systems – including trunking, traywork, and conduit for tidy and safe cabling routes.
  • Emergency lighting systems – designed to meet BS 5266 standards for safe evacuation in case of fire or power loss.
  • Fire alarm installations – in compliance with BS 5839, giving staff and pupils peace of mind.
  • Data and comms cabling – providing reliable internet connectivity across learning environments.
  • External lighting – car parks, playgrounds, and pathways to enhance security and safety after hours.
  • Heating and power upgrades – including electric heating for new classrooms or outbuildings.
  • Full rewires and refurbishments – to bring older school buildings up to modern compliance standards.

Each project is carefully planned with the academy’s management team to minimise disruption during term time.

2) Compliance and Legislation

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Electrical installation in schools must comply with:

  • BS 7671 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition) – covering the design, installation, and inspection of electrical systems.
  • Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – protecting both contractors and building users.
  • Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 – ensuring systems are safe and properly maintained.
  • Part P of the Building Regulations – governing electrical safety in educational environments.
  • Ofsted requirements – ensuring learning environments are safe and fit for purpose.

In addition, every installation is fully EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) tested and certified for compliance.
