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. ## Business facts - Based: Aldhelms Road, Poole, BH12 1AE - Service area: Poole, Bournemouth, Broadstone, Wimborne Minster, Wareham, Parkstone, Ferndown, Christchurch, Canford Heath, Westbourne - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447397844504 - Email: info@mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2,000,000 - Qualifications: Nvq level 3, City&Guilds; Gold Card Electrician - Pricing rules: Current labour rate: £70 per hour.; Materials, specialist equipment and larger project work are confirmed separately before they go ahead. ## Request a quote - [Start a request](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and postcode to MX2 Electrical. ## Related pages - [EICR](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/eicr): EICR testing and electrical safety reports. - [Fuse board replacement](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement): Consumer unit and fuse board replacement. - [Electrical Fault Finding & Repair](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding): Find and repair electrical faults. - [Lighting Installation](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/lighting-installation): Lighting installation and design. - [Industrial electrical projects and maintenance](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/industrial-electrical-projects-maintenance): Industrial electrical projects and maintenance. - [Full sitemap](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
