Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work during term time?
Yes, but we prefer to minimise this. For essential or emergency work during term time, we work around the school day - arriving early, working through breaks, or completing work after pupils leave. Larger projects are scheduled during half-terms, Easter, and summer holidays.
How often do schools need electrical testing?
Schools require EICR testing every 5 years, though many local authorities and academy trusts mandate more frequent inspections. Fire alarms need weekly testing and annual servicing, while PAT testing is typically required annually. Emergency lighting requires monthly function tests and annual full-discharge tests.
Do you work with Multi-Academy Trusts?
Yes - we work with several MATs across Devon, providing consistent service standards across multiple school sites. We can offer framework agreements, centralised billing, and coordinated maintenance schedules that work for trust-level management.
Can you help with Condition Improvement Fund applications?
We can provide detailed survey reports and costings to support CIF bids for electrical upgrades. We've supported successful applications for consumer unit replacements, rewiring projects, and energy efficiency improvements including LED lighting upgrades.
