How we help Schools

In today’s schools, it’s not just about more power sockets for all those extra electronic devices and AV equipment. There’s also a growing demand for enhanced security systems and energy-efficient lighting to help keep down costs.

Whatever your school’s electrical needs, we can help. And we can do the work at a time that suits you. Our installations are compliant, and we always prioritise the safety and wellbeing of your students and staff.

We can provide cost-effective solutions to help your school stay ahead and give you peace of mind.

Electrical Work in Schools: Special Considerations

We complete all our electrical work to the highest standards. But when it comes to working in schools, we understand there are additional responsibilities. Meeting these ensures the safety of children, staff, and visitors and prioritises the school’s learning environment.

1. Effective communication with staff to discuss the project requirements and schedule.
2. Working in non-school hours whenever possible to minimise interruptions to school activities.
3. Prioritising children’s safety by taking extra precautions in areas accessible to children, such as securing work areas and using childproof covers.
4. Maintaining detailed records of tests and modifications for compliance and future reference.
5. Coordinating with other trades involved in the project to help create a seamless working environment.
6. Behaving professionally at all times, keeping work areas clean and respecting the school’s property.

Commercial Project

What our customers think

Placed an emergency call out with Hopkins Electrical as I had lost all power to my house. Chris turned up within 60 minutes of me placing the call and found that a rat had bitten through one of the cables. He made a temporary repair and then came back a couple of days later and replaced the fuse board and the cabling. Neat job, very professional and very reasonably priced.

Michael Underwood

Chris and his team talked us through the whole re wiring process and made sure we had enough sockets and switches in the right places before we started any work. They turned up on time and were very professional in their approach to out very large project. They were always easy to get hold of and would always offer good solutions to any problems we had with our build.

If like me the thought of having to find an electrician brings you out in a cold sweat then chill and call Hopkins Electrical. From start to finish they were professional and friendly. When they came and undertook the work I was so impressed with the transparency and integrity of their employee who talked me though everything. The work was done to a high standard and I have no problem giving them 5 stars. Great company, great service.
