Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Testing a Cambridge icon

30th April 2021

We were delighted to be engaged to carry out the electrical testing for a Cambridge icon this week. The beautiful Round Church on Bridge Street dates back to the 12th century and is one of the city’s most treasured historic landmarks. It is popular with locals, visitors and tourists, so electrical safety is paramount and we were pleased to be able to help Christian Heritage, who manage the church, to ensure that everyone can use the building and facilities safely.

Christian Heritage were so pleased with our service that they submitted the following glowing testimonial:

‘We used MS Electrical Services for our electrical testing, and were impressed by the professionalism, efficiency and customer service that marked all of our interactions. We were especially grateful for their expansive knowledge, genuine helpfulness and eager willingness to answer questions. The report was produced quickly and to a very high standard. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend their service.’

For Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, the need for electrical safety testing has never been greater as venues across Cambridge begin to open up and welcome the public once again. ‘Many businesses and attractions have been on lockdown for months so it’s vital that as they prepare to re-open they ensure that their electrical safety testing is up to date,’ comments Mark. ‘As well as PAT testing to ensure that all appliances used on the premises are safe, it’s imperative to make sure that a fixed wire test has been carried out to confirm that everything regarding the fuse board and electrical installation is operating correctly. We’d encourage any business owner or Health & Safety manager who is in any doubt to contact us for advice.’

MS Electrical Services offer PAT testing and fixed wire testing in Cambridge, so please contact us to request a no-obligation quotation.

Testimonials

I recently had the need to employ an electrical contractor to install a number of charging points within our dealership, in order to prepare for Audi’s growth in the supply and servicing of electric vehicles. We needed three sockets installed in our workshop in order to facilitate the electric charging of vehicles whilst they are in our care. In addition to this we required the installation of an interior and exterior charging point that would add convenience for our customers should their vehicles need charging on site. We contacted a number of electrical companies to discuss this requirement and to quote for the work to be completed. Of all the contractors, I have to say that MS Electrical Services were by far the most accommodating. Mark Smith took time out to come and survey our dealership at no extra cost, to ensure we all understood the exact requirements. Knowing that we operate an extremely busy workshop and sales operation, Mark suggested that he complete the works over a Saturday and Sunday in order to minimise the disruption on site. I found his company extremely professional, reliable and good value. I am extremely happy with the work carried out and would not hesitate in recommending his company to anyone.
