Rewires for a Shop Refit

A full rewire is a large project but can benefit a company in many ways. It ensures the electrical systems in your company building are fully functioning and up to date with regulated standards. Another benefit of a full rewire is you have a choice of where electrical appliances and components can go. You can relocate sockets, switches and lighting to suit your shop needs. Like all electrical work, an experienced and qualified electrician must carry out rewires to ensure the safety of the installations. 

Importance of Health and Safety

Regular checks of electrical systems and appliances are a must for any business. An EICR every 5 years helps your business understand the condition of the building’s electrics and any dangers can be repaired immediately before anyone gets hurt. PAT testing equipment is also essential to ensure the safety of customers and employees. Although not a legal requirement, a business owner will still be liable if any dangers were to occur to anyone within the building if PAT testing is not carried out. PAT testing gives businesses peace of mind that there are little electrical dangers present with their equipment. 

Importance of  Lighting in a Shop Refit

Lighting is a powerful tool when catching your customers attention and also has a very significant impact on a customer’s mood and perception. Simple lighting techniques such as accent lighting may be used to influence a customer towards certain products which you are trying to promote. It is also important to have the correct lighting in window displays to attract customers to enter your shop. When having a shop refit it is important to know what you are trying to promote to your customers.

Lighting is also important for employees. Poor lighting can increase the risk of headaches, eye strain and fatigue. This can decrease an employee’s productivity and create a very difficult workplace. If you provide your staff with a well-lit workspace then it will increase your employee’s satisfaction which will hugely benefit your company. 
Before opening a shop, think about the atmosphere you are trying to create for your customers. This will influence the type of lighting you require such as warm or cool lighting.

Importance of Business Security 

To ensure your workplace is safe from criminal activity it is important to install a fully functioning CCTV system. Not only does this offer safety to your business, it also protects visitors and employees. Another important electrical system for a shop is fire alarms. A fully installed fire alarm will enhance the safety of anyone in the property in the event of a fire.
