Project Update: From Design to Installation – Complete

Switchgear Services in East Kent

At East Kent Electrical, we believe that every successful electrical installation starts with smart design and ends with skilled, certified workmanship. One of our latest projects involved the full design and installation of modern electrical switchgear for a local client in Kent – and it’s a perfect example of how we take a project from concept through to completion.

What Is Electrical Switchgear?

Switchgear is the backbone of any electrical distribution system. It’s what allows power to be safely controlled, isolated, and protected within a property, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.

Our client needed a robust, future-proof solution that complied with the latest UK wiring regulations and could handle expanding energy demands.

Design Phase: Planning for Performance & Safety

We began with a detailed site assessment to understand the client’s current and future electrical needs. Using this information, we designed a custom switchgear solution that offered:

  • Safe and reliable load distribution
  • Easy isolation for maintenance or emergencies
  • Protection against overloads and short circuits
  • Room for future expansion if needed

We selected high-quality components that complied with BS 7671 wiring regulations and ensured full integration with the property’s existing supply setup.

Installation Phase: Professional, Certified Workmanship

Once the design was approved, we scheduled the installation at a time that suited the client’s routine, minimising downtime. The project involved:

  • Removing outdated and unsafe equipment
  • Installing new switchgear and protective devices
  • Labelling and organising circuits for clarity
  • Testing and certification to NAPIT standards

All work was carried out efficiently, cleanly, and with full regard for health and safety on site.

Final Testing & Handover

After installation, we carried out a full suite of electrical tests to verify performance and safety. The client was provided with:

  • A full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC)
  • A detailed handover of how the switchgear operates
  • Advice on ongoing maintenance and safety checks

Feedback from the Client

“East Kent Electrical provided a professional and reassuring service from start to finish. Everything was clearly explained, and the quality of the installation was second to none. I feel much more confident in the safety of our system now.”

Why This Matters

With electrical systems becoming more complex, particularly with the rise of EV chargers, solar panels, and smart home tech, having the right switchgear in place is more important than ever. At East Kent Electrical, we make sure our clients have the infrastructure to support today’s needs and tomorrow’s growth.
