Electrical Rewiring for Retail Shops

A shop’s electrical setup can evolve as the business changes. New displays, refrigeration, tills, security equipment and lighting can all alter the demands placed on existing circuits.

Inspect the Existing Wiring

We examine accessible cables, circuits and electrical accessories to establish whether parts of the installation show signs of deterioration or require upgrading.

Review Customer & Staff Areas

The sales floor, checkout area, storage facilities and staff spaces can each have different electrical requirements, which are considered during planning.

Consider Retail Equipment

We take account of equipment such as tills, refrigeration units, display lighting, computers and fixed appliances when reviewing the property’s electrical needs.

Explain Suitable Options

After reviewing the installation, we outline practical options for addressing unsuitable wiring and improving the electrical arrangement.
