Commercial electrical services in Glasgow
Our commercial electricians work with businesses of all sizes across Glasgow — from small retail units to multi-floor office buildings. Every job is carried out to BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations) with full certification provided.
New commercial electrical installations and fit-outs
Whether you are opening a new shop in Glasgow city centre, fitting out a restaurant, or commissioning a new warehouse unit, we provide complete electrical installation from first fix through to final certification. We work closely with project managers and main contractors to hit programme dates and minimise delays. Our team handles power distribution, lighting, data cabling routes, emergency lighting and fire alarm wiring.
Commercial lighting design and installation
Good lighting directly affects staff productivity, customer experience and energy bills. We design and install LED lighting schemes for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, warehouses and external commercial areas. Energy-efficient LED retrofits typically reduce lighting energy costs by 50–70% compared to older fluorescent systems, with a payback period of 2–4 years for most Glasgow commercial premises.
Distribution board and consumer unit upgrades
Ageing distribution boards are one of the most common causes of commercial electrical failures. We replace outdated boards with modern 3-phase and single-phase distribution boards, including residual current devices (RCDs), miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and surge protection devices (SPDs). Upgrading your distribution board also simplifies future additions to your electrical installation.
Planned preventative electrical maintenance
Unplanned electrical failures are costly for any business. A planned maintenance contract with FixNow Glasgow means your installation is inspected and tested on a regular schedule, faults are caught before they become failures, and you have documented evidence of compliance for your insurer. We offer annual and bi-annual maintenance programmes tailored to the size and nature of your premises.
Commercial EICR — Electrical Installation Condition Report
Commercial properties in Scotland must have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years, or more frequently for high-risk premises such as swimming pools, outdoor venues or premises with heavy industrial equipment. We carry out commercial EICRs across Glasgow, issue a detailed report and — where required — carry out any remedial work to bring the installation up to standard.
Emergency lighting testing and installation
Emergency lighting is a legal requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the BS 5266 standard. We install, test and certify emergency lighting systems for all types of commercial premises including offices, shops, hospitality venues and warehouses. Monthly and annual test certificates are provided.
Commercial EV charging infrastructure
Installing EV charging points for staff and customers is an increasingly common business requirement in Glasgow. We install commercial AC and DC chargers, carry out the required electrical upgrades, and provide the documentation needed for OZEV funding applications.
