Schools and colleges have a lot going on under one roof, so their electrics need to be safe, reliable and able to cope with plenty of daily use.
At ElectricsFixed, we provide electrical services for schools and colleges in Hereford, from lighting upgrades and security lighting through to inspections, repairs and general electrical work. Costs will depend on what you need, but a straightforward security lighting installation could start from around £500–£1,500. We'll always have a proper look at the building first and explain what we'd recommend before any work gets underway.
Why do schools need regular electrical work?
When you're running a school, the last thing you want is to be worrying about whether the lights are going to work, whether an electrical fault is going to cause disruption or whether the building is adequately lit when children and parents are arriving or leaving.
There can be a lot to keep on top of, from everyday lighting and sockets to emergency systems, security lighting and regular electrical inspections. That's why having an electrician you can rely on can make life a little easier. Electrical services for schools and colleges in Hereford can cover everything from planned improvements to those unexpected jobs that suddenly need sorting.
We recently returned to a primary school in the Honddu Close area where we'd already carried out some work. We'd previously upgraded the school's lighting and completed their EICR, so we already knew the building and had a good understanding of the existing electrical installation.
This time, the school contacted us because they wanted to improve the lighting around the perimeter and playground. With children attending breakfast clubs early in the morning and after-school clubs finishing later in the day, there were times when parents were collecting and dropping off their children when it was already getting dark.
They wanted everyone arriving and leaving the school to be able to see where they were going, while giving staff better visibility around the grounds. It wasn't about turning the playground into a brightly lit football pitch; they wanted sensible lighting in the areas where it would actually make a difference.
We had a look around the school, considered how the grounds were being used and worked out where the additional security lighting would be most useful. Because we'd already worked on the building, we also had a good understanding of the existing installation, which made planning the new work much more straightforward.
Working around a busy school day
One thing that's always worth remembering with electrical services for schools and colleges in Hereford is that you can't simply treat the building like an empty property. There are children, teachers, support staff and parents using the site throughout the day, so we understand that you don't want electricians getting in the way of lessons or turning up at the busiest possible time! We'll discuss the work with you beforehand and, wherever possible, arrange things around the school's normal routine.
At ElectricsFixed, we'll take the time to understand what your school needs rather than simply turning up and doing the obvious job. Whether you need new lighting, security lighting, an EICR, repairs or other electrical services for schools and colleges in Hereford, we'll give you straightforward advice and a solution that works for your building.
