4 Reasons To Book A School Electrician Over The Summer Holidays

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! Making it the perfect time to book your school commercial electrician to get all of those nitty-gritty electrical jobs signed off and ready for term to start again in September. At Datel Electrical, our team of highly qualified and experienced commercial electricians have the skills and experience to provide you with a wide range of electrical services. 

Read on to find out why you should book your school’s electric work during the long summer holiday.

1) Reduce The Impact On Day-To-Day Activities

Schools, whether that be a primary school or a secondary school are busy places to be. Especially during term time, when students and teachers are occupied teaching, learning and socialising. Having electricians around can be disruptive to the school environment and daily activities. Especially if the electricians have to move around the school, drill holes or turn off electrics. 

At Datel Electrical, our electricians have worked with various companies and schools, ensuring their schedules match up with when is most convenient. By conducting any EICR inspections, PAT testing general electrical maintenance or electrical investigations outside of school term times, we will be able to keep disruption to a minimum. 

2) Ensure Your School Electrics Are Fully Compliant

Due to their nature, schools must adhere to strict electrical safety and compliance requirements, such as:

• Only ‘competent persons’ can undertake electrical inspection, maintenance and repairs, according to Intersafe 
• According to HSE, schools must complete regular PAT tests and EICR inspections. EICR inspections must be carried out every five years, whereas PAT testing (when portable appliances are checked) should be completed annually for schools 
• Wiring, switches and any electrical outlet should be hazard-free and in full working order, following all of the latest electrical regulations and requirements

Our talented team of electricians will work with you to ensure your school’s electrics meet all of the requirements to ensure your staff and students are electrically safe come September.

3) Complete Larger School Electrical Work & Projects

It can be difficult to complete large electrical projects when the school is a hustle of activities. Which is why if you’ve got larger projects to complete at your school, such as:

• Complete or part electrical rewire 
• Renovation of classrooms, assembly halls
• Installation of new emergency lighting 
• Solar panel installations 

However, by completing these style projects during the holidays, electricians will be able to work in an empty school, without worrying about student safety or excess dust and mess.

4) Save Time & Recourses When School Starts Again

Organising your school electric work to be completed over the summer holidays helps save time, effort and energy. While at Datel Electrical, all of our electricians are DBS-checked and have experience with a wide range of electrical installations. 

It can be time-consuming to organise school electrical work around the busy timetable. Not to mention if work is needed to be completed in classrooms, the effort it may take to organise alternative classrooms for teachers and students. 

At Datel Electrical, we will always do our best to work around you and your requirements.
