Full Electrical Rewire & Lighting Upgrade for Pasta King (Newton Abbot)

Grant's Electrical Solutions Ltd recently completed a large-scale commercial electrical installation for Pasta King, a major food production company headquartered in Newton Abbot. The project involved a complete rewire of their production facility, three-phase consumer unit upgrades, LED bay light installations, and specialist rewiring of their Halal preparation area.

This case study highlights our capability in handling complex commercial rewires, food-safe electrical installations, and full lighting conversions across South Devon.

The Challenge

Pasta King's production facility required a major electrical overhaul due to ageing infrastructure, overloaded circuits, and inefficient lighting. Specific areas of concern included:

  • Obsolete three-phase distribution boards
  • Flickering and power-hungry high-bay lights
  • Lack of segregation and labelling in critical circuits
  • Halal section requiring hygienic, safe rewiring methods
  • Minimal disruption required to ongoing food operations

Our Solution

Our experienced team designed and implemented a phased electrical upgrade to meet modern safety standards and energy-efficiency requirements:

  • Rewired the entire production area using modern containment and high-quality cabling
  • Supplied and installed new three-phase consumer units with labelled RCBO protection
  • Rewired the Halal section with segregated circuits, hygienic containment, and minimal disruption
  • Replaced all outdated lights with energy-efficient LED high-bay fittings
  • Commissioned and tested all installations to BS7671:2018 standards

The job was delivered on time, on budget, and in compliance with strict food industry protocols.

The Result

ImprovementOutcome
LightingMajor improvements to lighting levels and visual comfort
Energy SavingsEstimated 50% reduction in lighting energy usage
SafetyEnhanced protection and circuit separation via new boards
Future-ReadySetup ready for equipment expansions

Pasta King now benefit from a safer, brighter, and more efficient electrical system that supports their ongoing growth.

Why It Matters

For food production environments, electrical safety and reliability are non-negotiable. Our qualified electricians ensure installations are not only compliant, but tailored to each facility's operational needs.

Key Considerations for Food Production Facilities

  • Hygiene requirements mean containment must be cleanable and sealed
  • Circuit segregation ensures critical areas have dedicated supplies
  • Minimal downtime through phased installation around production schedules
  • Full compliance documentation for audits and inspections
  • Energy efficiency from LED lighting reduces costs and heat output
