Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping congregations safe

25th February 2020

At MS Electrical we specialise in keeping electrical safety in check, and in doing so we service a number of churches and religious establishments in and around Cambridge. These include: St Mary's Burwell, St Andrew the Great Cambridge, St Peter's Papworth, St Paul's Cambridge, St Mary's Sawston, St Mary's & All Saints Willingham, St James Cambridge, St Andrew's Witchford, St Andrew's Cambridge, Waterbeach Baptist Church, King's Church Cambridge, Great Shelford Free Church, Christ Church Cambridge, Cambridge Buddhist Centre, All Saints Church Boughton, Haddenham Methodist Church and Holy Trinity Church Haddenham.

While electrical installations in these institutions tend to be of a high standard, it's vital that regular checks are carried out in line with the requirements of BS7671:2018 to ensure that everyone attending can do so in safety. Given the regular schedule of functions such as Mass, weddings, funerals, christenings and social gatherings, it’s also important to be flexible in terms of timings and to be sympathetic to the environment in which the work is being carried out.

As Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, explains, the company’s growing list of religious clients is a real source of pride. ‘We’re always delighted to be invited to carry out the PAT testing and fixed wire testing for churches and other religious establishments as we understand how central they are to the areas in which they’re located,’ comments Mark. ‘Not only that, we also have a fantastic track record in emergency lighting testing, which enables worshippers to navigate their way in and out of the buildings safely. The whole MS Electrical team appreciates that any electrical safety testing needs to be carried out efficiently to suit the church’s busy programme and to avoid any disruption or inconvenience, and that’s an aspect of our service of which we’re very proud.'

MS Electrical Services offer PAT testing, fixed wire testing and emergency lighting testing in Cambridge, so please call us on 01223 850301 or complete our enquiry form to request a no-obligation quotation.
