Office Electrician in London
We are an office electrician and family business based in Acton, looking after offices, coworking spaces, studios and agencies across London.
In addition, from PAT testing and emergency lighting to desk power, data cabling and Wi-Fi, we work evenings and weekends so your team never has to stop work.
An office electrician that works when your office is empty
Naturally, your desks are busiest from morning to early evening. Therefore, as your office electrician we book testing and installations into the quiet hours, so nobody loses power, Wi-Fi or a meeting room.
Evenings
For example, most testing and small jobs start once the last people have gone home.
Weekends
Meanwhile, bigger jobs such as data cabling, lighting upgrades and EICRs are done at weekends.
Early mornings
Similarly, quick repairs and checks are finished before the first staff arrive.
The office electrician checks that keep you compliant
Under fire safety law, the responsible person must keep fire alarms and emergency lighting working and record the fire safety arrangements in full. In addition, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require electrical systems to be kept safe. For most offices, that adds up to the routine below, and an office electrician can take most of it off your hands.
Fire alarm test from a call point
BS 5839-1. Your staff do this, and we show them how to log it.
Emergency lighting function test
BS 5266-1. In other words, a short test of every emergency light.
Fire alarm service
BS 5839-1. Detectors, call points, sounders and the panel are all checked.
Emergency lighting duration test and PAT testing
BS 5266-1 and the IET Code of Practice. However, PAT intervals depend on risk.
What our office electrician service covers
In short, we look after everything electrical in your office, from the fuse board to the furthest desk, with one team and one set of records.
PAT testing
For example, laptop chargers, monitors, kettles and kitchen kit are tested, labelled and logged in an asset register.
Fire alarm and emergency lighting
Similarly, six-monthly fire alarm servicing to BS 5839-1:2025 and emergency lighting tests to BS 5266-1:2025.
EICR and fixed wire testing
In addition, your wiring, boards and protective devices are inspected and tested, with every observation explained in plain English.
Desk power and floor boxes
Also, extra sockets, floor boxes and power for new desk layouts, meeting rooms and kitchens.
Data cabling and Wi-Fi
Likewise, Cat6 cabling, patch panels and UniFi access points for reliable office networks.
LED lighting upgrades
Finally, brighter and cheaper-to-run LED panels and downlights, with sensors where they make sense.
Moving into a new office or fitting one out?
Ideally, a move is the time to get the electrics right, and to bring in an office electrician early. From our base in Acton, W3, we help businesses in Park Royal, Ealing, Chiswick, Hammersmith and across London to:
- First, check the installation with an EICR at the start of the lease.
- Next, test the fire alarm and emergency lighting before staff move in.
- Also, plan desk power and data points before the furniture arrives.
- Then install Wi-Fi access points where the signal is actually needed.
- In addition, PAT test equipment brought over from the old office.
- Finally, hand over certificates for your landlord, insurer and fire risk assessor.

Office electrician FAQs
Can an office electrician work evenings and weekends?
Yes, as an office electrician most of our work is done in the evenings, at weekends or early in the morning. Therefore, your team can carry on working as normal.
Do you install data cabling and Wi-Fi?
Yes, we install Cat6 data cabling, patch panels and UniFi Wi-Fi access points. In addition, we can add the power your network cabinet needs.
How often does an office need an EICR?
Generally, IET guidance suggests a maximum of five years for offices. However, it is also worth having one at the start of a new lease, after major alterations, or sooner if your inspector recommends it.
Does an office electrician need to PAT test everything every year?
Not always. In fact, there is no fixed legal interval, so it depends on the type of equipment and how it is used. Instead, we follow the IET Code of Practice and recommend sensible intervals for your office.
Can you test everything in one visit?
Yes, in most cases. For example, we can do your PAT testing, emergency lighting test and fire alarm service in the same evening or weekend visit.
Which areas do you cover?
Because we are based in Acton, W3, we reach Park Royal, Ealing, Chiswick, Hammersmith and Willesden quickly. In addition, we work with offices across the rest of London.
