Complete Retail & Hospitality Electrical Installation Services
As an experienced retail and hospitality electrical contractor, we handle the full range of services required to keep your venue safe, functional, and welcoming:
electrical design and installation
For new shops, restaurants, or refurbishments.
We provide complete electrical systems for new developments and refits — including circuit layouts, distribution planning and full install of all power, lighting and controls. Every system is tailored to the layout and use of your space, ensuring optimal performance and compliance.
Retail lighting design
Including ambient lighting, display spotlights, and signage lighting.
Lighting plays a key role in product visibility and customer experience. We install energy-efficient LED systems, directional spotlights for merchandise, and illuminated signage solutions that support your brand and visual merchandising goals.
Hospitality lighting systems
Warm ambient lighting for restaurants, bars and hotels.
We create atmosphere-driven lighting environments that elevate comfort, style and ambience. From dimmable pendant lights in bars to soft LED strips in hotel lobbies, our hospitality lighting installations are as functional as they are inviting.
Restaurant electrical installations
Including kitchen power, extract systems and emergency stops.
Commercial kitchens demand robust, regulation-compliant power. We install circuits for cookers, fryers, extraction fans, refrigeration and prep equipment — plus emergency isolation switches for safety and compliance with catering regulations.
Consumer unit installation and upgrades
We install and upgrade consumer units (fuse boards) to safely manage electrical loads. All units are fitted with RCDs, RCBOs and surge protection as standard, ensuring your business is protected from faults and power surges.
Sockets, switches, and USB charging points
For staff and customer zones.
We fit high-quality accessories across front and back-of-house areas, including standard sockets, fused spurs, floor boxes, and integrated USB ports. Ideal for modern workspaces, customer charging points, or bar/kitchen equipment.
Emergency lighting systems
To BS 5266-1 standards.
We install and maintain emergency lighting to meet fire safety laws. This includes escape route lighting, exit signs, and self-testing systems to ensure ongoing compliance and peace of mind.
Wi-Fi and data cabling
To support tills, POS, booking systems and guest networks.
Fast, stable internet is vital in modern hospitality and retail. We install Cat5e and Cat6 data cabling for your tills, PDQs, staff systems, and public Wi-Fi — with clear labelling, patch panels and future-proofed layouts.
Outdoor lighting and power
For beer gardens, terraces or signage.
External areas need weatherproof, regulation-compliant electrics. We fit IP-rated lights and sockets for beer gardens, terraces, decorative lighting, and outdoor kitchen setups — extending your venue’s usability and appeal.
Lighting That Enhances Your Brand Experience
Lighting in a retail or hospitality setting must do more than just function — it must influence the mood, support branding and guide your customers. Our commercial electricians install lighting that blends aesthetics with performance.
We supply and fit:
- LED lighting upgrades to reduce running costs and energy use
- Display lighting for products, menus and signage
- Smart lighting controls, dimmers and daylight sensors
- Emergency exit lighting for all occupancy classes
- Outdoor and façade lighting for kerb appeal and safety
Whether you need subtle ambient lighting in a boutique hotel or vibrant feature lighting in a cocktail bar, we make it happen.
