Commercial Electrical Services
Powering shops, offices, hospitality venues and workspaces across Kent.
Electrical Work That Keeps Your Business Running
BBES works with small businesses, property managers, and contractors to deliver safe, reliable electrical installations and repairs in commercial settings. We handle everything from shop fit-outs to emergency lighting, consumer unit upgrades to fault finding — all carried out to current standards, properly tested, and built to last.
Whether you’re opening a new space, upgrading an old one, or fixing something that’s gone wrong, we’ll make sure the job gets done cleanly, safely, and without cutting corners.
What We Do
We provide a full range of commercial electrical services for:
- Shops and retail spaces
- Offices and co-working spaces
- Bars, cafés, and restaurants
- Salons, studios and gyms
- Warehouses and workshops
- Lettings, HMO properties and landlord portfolios
- Public spaces, showrooms, and service businesses
We work directly with business owners, site managers, builders and developers to fit in with your schedule — including out-of-hours or staged work to avoid disruption to trading.
Full Electrical Installations & Fit-Outs
Starting from scratch? Refurbishing a commercial space? We’ll plan and install everything you need — from the main consumer unit down to the final socket and light switch.
We can help with:
- First fix and second fix wiring
- Lighting design and installation
- Emergency lighting systems
- Power distribution and layout planning
- Fire alarms and safety systems
- Data cabling and internet points
- External power and lighting
- Equipment connections and isolators
Everything we install is tested and certified for commercial use, with safety and reliability at the core.
Lighting Systems
We install efficient, long-lasting lighting for all types of spaces — whether you need bright task lighting, modern ambient lighting, or a mix of both. We work with all types of fittings, including LED panels, downlights, suspended units, and smart-controlled systems.
We also carry out upgrades to older lighting setups — replacing fluorescent or halogen units with safer, energy-efficient alternatives.
Emergency Lighting
We install and test emergency lighting for commercial spaces — including standalone fittings and maintained systems linked to fire alarms. We can also carry out regular inspections and issue compliance reports for your insurance or licensing needs.
If you’re unsure whether your premises meet requirements, we can assess the site and quote clearly for what’s needed.
Fire Alarm Installation
We fit fire alarm systems to suit the size and use of your premises — from small retail setups to multi-room HMOs and commercial buildings.
This includes:
- Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide detectors
- Interlinked or addressable systems
- Control panel installation
- Zoned layouts
- Fire safety documentation and test certificates
We stay up to date with current fire safety regulations so you don’t get caught out by non-compliance.
Consumer Unit Upgrades & Power Distribution
If your building still has an outdated or overloaded fuse board, we can replace it with a new, regulation-compliant consumer unit with the right capacity for your equipment. We can also review the load requirements of your site and install sub-boards, isolators or dedicated circuits where needed.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Electrical faults can interrupt your day-to-day operations. We use proper diagnostic tools to quickly locate issues and carry out repairs without guesswork. Whether it’s tripping circuits, loss of power, or overloaded systems, we’ll identify the cause and fix it safely.
Equipment Wiring & Isolators
We connect commercial kitchen appliances, salon equipment, gym machines, server racks, and more — with the correct wiring, isolators, and protections for each setup.
If you’re relocating or upgrading equipment, we can safely remove, move or rewire what’s needed to suit the new layout.
Certification & Compliance
All commercial work we carry out is tested and signed off properly. If you need certification for building control, insurance, landlord licensing or HMO compliance, we’ll supply it as standard.
We also offer periodic inspection reports (EICRs) and ongoing maintenance checks to keep your site compliant and reduce risk.
