MX2 Electrical is frequently praised for prompt, professional and friendly service, with electricians who explain the work clearly, offer options and complete jobs efficiently. Reviews commonly mention EICRs, EV charger installations, sockets, lighting, wiring, ventilation, consumer units and cooker work, with neat finishes, tidy work areas and fair pricing standing out. A small number of reviews raise concerns about follow-up costs and remedial work after EICRs.
Summarised with AI
I’m Really happy with the work from both of them. They installed a new socket in our conservatory and did a great job. They were both professional, friendly, tidy and made sure everything was done properly. I’m very pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them. Thank you both for your hard work!

MX2 came along promptly to quote, their quote was reasonable and they gave us options. The work itself was done quickly, efficiently and very neatly, they went the extra mile adding extra without quibbling, and they left the flat in a very tidy space.

Commercial electrical work built around the premises

Offices and mixed-use premises need clean cable routing, sub-distribution boards, and dedicated socket arrangements for desks and IT hardware.

- 02
Installation and containment
Cables, conduit, trunking, and accessories are installed in accordance with BS 7671 standards using commercial-grade fittings.
- 03
Testing and verification

Commercial electrical questions
Common questions about commercial electrical installations for businesses in Poole and surrounding areas.
How do you handle power shutdowns during installation?+
I plan any necessary supply isolations in advance with you. We identify which circuits need to go off and schedule distribution board work to minimise disruption to your staff and trading hours.
Do you supply the electrical certification needed for business insurance?+
Yes, I issue a standard Electrical Installation Certificate for all new circuits and board additions. As a NAPIT registered contractor, my work complies with BS 7671 wiring regulations and building control requirements.
Can existing commercial distribution boards support new circuits?+
This depends on the spare capacity and physical space in your current distribution board. During the initial site assessment, the existing switchgear is checked to confirm if spare ways exist or if a sub-board is needed.
What cable containment methods do you install?+
Depending on the property, we install metal conduit, dado trunking, cable tray, or basket systems. Commercial offices often use perimeter trunking, while warehouses and workshops benefit from steel conduit.
What public liability insurance does MX2 Electrical hold?+
MX2 Electrical holds £2 million public liability insurance, covering commercial electrical work across shops, offices, and business premises.
