Powering a warehouse or industrial unit?

Warehouse & Industrial Electrics

Industrial facilities demand a higher standard of electrical work. We deliver large-scale, heavy-duty electrical installations for logistics, manufacturing, and industrial clients across Cornwall and beyond. From high-bay LED lighting and three-phase distribution to busbar trunking, we have the specialised equipment and expertise to safely handle the heavy demands of your operational site.

Built for Scale

Industrial work needs an electrical contractor who can think in terms of bigger buildings, longer cable runs, and higher loads than a typical commercial fit-out. We design and install three-phase distribution systems, sub-distribution boards, and busbar trunking suited to large floor plates and heavy machinery loads, with proper consideration for future expansion as your operation grows. Whether you're commissioning a brand new unit, retrofitting an older warehouse, or extending an existing facility, we'll size the installation correctly from the start so it can handle what you're throwing at it today and what you're likely to need a few years down the line.

High-Bay LED Retrofits

If your warehouse is still running on older metal halide or fluorescent high-bay fittings, you're paying significantly more than you need to for lighting that isn't doing as good a job as it could. A modern LED high-bay retrofit cuts energy use considerably while delivering brighter, cleaner, more even light across the floor, and the lamp life means far fewer maintenance trips up to height. We carry out the assessment, work out the projected savings, and put together a proposal with realistic payback figures based on your actual operating hours. For most warehouse operations, the upgrade pays for itself comfortably and continues saving year after year.

Safe at Height

Industrial electrical work nearly always involves working at height, and we approach that side of the job with the seriousness it deserves. Our teams are properly trained, properly equipped, and properly insured for working from scissor lifts, cherry pickers, and mobile elevated platforms, with the right method statements and risk assessments in place before anyone leaves the ground. We coordinate with your operations team on isolation, access, and pedestrian safety so the work can be completed safely without putting your staff at risk or causing disruption to the parts of the site that need to keep running.

Minimal Downtime

When your warehouse is running shifts or fulfilling orders against tight deadlines, downtime is the last thing you need. We plan industrial installations carefully around your operational requirements, identifying the work that needs full isolation, what can be done live, and where phased shutdowns are the cleanest option. Where possible, we work out of hours, over weekends, or during planned maintenance windows to keep the impact on production to an absolute minimum. The goal is always the same, get the job done properly without bringing your operation to a standstill in the process.

Top Questions & Answers

Here are the top questions we’re frequently asked about warehouse & industrial electrical installations…

Yes, three-phase work is a regular part of what we do for industrial clients. We design and install three-phase distribution, sub-mains, and machinery supplies for everything from light industrial units through to large warehouses with significant manufacturing loads. If your incoming supply isn’t large enough for what you need, we can also liaise with the DNO to arrange a supply upgrade, managing the process on your behalf so you’re not chasing it yourself.

The savings depend on what you’re replacing, how many hours your lights are on, and the size of your facility, but for most warehouses running older high-bay fittings, the energy reduction is significant. On top of the energy savings, LED fittings last considerably longer, so you’re also saving on maintenance trips and replacement lamps. We’ll carry out a full assessment of your existing setup and provide projected savings figures so you can see the numbers before committing.

Absolutely. High-level work is standard for industrial installations, and our teams are trained, equipped, and insured for working from scissor lifts, cherry pickers, and other mobile elevated platforms. We’ll factor in access requirements at the quote stage and coordinate with you on traffic management, isolation, and operational logistics so the work can be done safely without bringing your facility to a halt.

Yes, and this is something we plan for from day one on industrial projects. We’ll look at what work needs full isolation, what can be done while areas are operational, and where phased shutdowns make sense. Out-of-hours and weekend working is often part of the solution, particularly for major retrofits or upgrades to live facilities. We’ll discuss the practicalities upfront so you can plan production and staffing around the project with confidence.

We do, and a lot of our industrial clients keep us on for planned maintenance after the initial installation. This typically includes fixed wire testing, emergency lighting tests, distribution board inspections, and reactive callout cover, all tailored to the size of your facility and the criticality of the systems involved. Having one electrician looking after the whole site makes the documentation easier and the response times faster when something does need attention.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Our Industrial Installation Process

BEFORE

Site Survey: We visit your facility to assess the existing infrastructure, review your operational requirements, and identify the scope of works needed for the project.

Design Plan: We put together a clear design covering distribution, lighting, and any specialist requirements, sized correctly for your current and future operational loads.

Fixed Quote: We provide a detailed, itemised quote setting out exactly what’s included, what’s excluded, and what the project will cost before any work goes ahead.

DURING

Containment: We install all trunking, tray, and busbar at high level, working from the appropriate access equipment with full safety controls in place throughout.

Cabling: We run all sub-mains, lighting circuits, and machinery supplies to the agreed positions, working tidily and coordinating with your team and other trades.

Installation: We fit and connect every fitting, board, and accessory, making sure each one is positioned correctly and matches the agreed design specification in full.

AFTER

Testing: We carry out full testing of every circuit and system, confirming the installation performs correctly before anything is energised and put into service.

Certification: We issue all completion certificates and supporting documentation, giving you a fully compliant record to keep on file for insurance and audit purposes.

Aftercare: We’re easy to get hold of after handover for any additions, repairs, or planned maintenance, with priority response for sites we know well and look after.
