Sometimes carrying out electrical installation works during normal working hours can cause disruption when you are trying to run a business, however the team at Fulcher Edwards are not shy of nightshifts or very early starts to help our clients. We recently helped one of our commercial clients Colas Rail Ltd at their head office in London, with an internal office move which required the whole team involved over a 24 hour window, including our MD!

We were asked to install various sockets and relocate floor boxes to suit a new desk layout in three offices at this office in Westminster. This type of electrical installation meant desks and floors had to be lifted so we had a team of electricians attend once everyone in the office had left for the day. Desks were then moved, floor tiles were lifted and new electrak leads with modular sockets were relocated to new outlets in order for the new desk set ups.

Once the electrical installation side of things was complete, our team 2 of electricians took over and took care of the cable management side of things as well as assisting with getting the office in order. Even Michael our Managing Director wasn’t afraid to getting his hands dirty and was under desks tidying cables! It was a successful 24 hours and our client was very happy with the team and the installation, so all in all a successful team effort.

Fulcher Edwards carries out all types of electrical installations, big or small, for commercial and residential customers in London and St. Albans, Herts.

Our electricians spent 2 days testing the emergency lighting in each building at a school in NW2 before the students returned after the Christmas break. Our electricians worked with the onsite maintenance team gaining access quickly and smoothly in each area that was tested.

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement for all businesses and organisations as defined by the Fire Regulatory Reform Order 2005 and British Standards BS 5266 Part 1: 2011 (Code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises) and BS EN 1838:2013.

Emergency lighting is a back–up for when the main power supply cuts out, resulting in darkness, which could present a danger to the occupants of a building. Therefore emergency lights must operate automatically in all circulation areas and escape routes, and must be adequate for people to see clearly enough to navigate obstacles and find a way out of the building safely.

All of the above testing needs to be documented into a logbook for your records which is usually supplied by the maintenance company like Fulcher Edwards Ltd, who is carrying out the yearly emergency lighting testing.

If you require emergency lighting testing at one of your properties then why not contact us for a free quote? Should you instruct us then we can provide you with a logbook, Certificate for your records and training if required and assist with any remedial works that may be necessary to keep you compliant with British Standards.

We maintain many schools in London and Hertfordshire and can attend during the school holidays if thats the preferred time for maintenance works though our electricians are DBS checked.

A BAFE accreditation has been one we have wanted for a while and we finally took the plunge this summer. BAFE promotes quality in fire safety and a big part of our works in fire alarm maintenance so we felt it was important to add this to our list.

BAFE is an organisation that ensures quality for the fire protection industry and provides the vital reassurance that the services being bought or specified are effective, reliable and competently maintained.

As of July we complied with the requirements of the BAFE adopted scheme SP203-1 for the maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems. We have now been added to list of BAFE registered companies and are authorised to use the BAFE mark.

To find out more about BAFE take a look at their website www.bafe.org.uk
