Guide to Electrical Services

Guide to Electrical Services

There are many great reasons for choosing MSE when you’re in need of first-class electrical services. MSE have been providing specialist electrical services for clients from various commercial and industrial sectors for over three decades, with a high proportion of our assignments coming from warehouses, hotels, factories, offices and schools. Clients seek out electrical services from MSE for many reasons, including refurbishments, complete industrial fit outs and new builds. The experienced team at MSE can be relied upon to manage your entire project from start to finish, consulting our vast contacts book whenever needed to bring in the best building and general expertise on the market.

MSE engineers are able to carry out full NICEIC testing and inspections for all relevant electrical equipment, in line with all current British Standards. MSE can carry out inspections, testing and installation services, and we are fully committed to not just meeting but beating your expectations, every time. The range of electrical services offered by MSE is vast. We can provide everything from emergency lighting and fire alarms, to access control and security systems whilst ensuring your electrical infrastructure is of the highest standard possible. We can also help you if you require electrical inspection services and electrical testing.

Data Communication Installation

At MSE, we carry out data communication installation work for our clients frequently. We have built up an excellent reputation when it comes to data communication solutions that allow teams to connect with each other and the wider world at blisteringly fast speeds. We have vast experience when it comes to data installation and data cabling, having worked on a wide range of cable wiring assignments for clients from various industry sectors based on commercial and industrial premises. With our solutions in place, you can experience faster, more robust and efficient communication, whilst benefitting from outstanding wireless links.

We can come to your assistance if you require fibre optics, CAT5 and CAT7 cabling and have carried out work for a series of well-known and respected clients, such as the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. We are a one-stop shop for electrical services including data communication installation for various market-leading names around the UK. You can count on us to utilise the very latest technology available to us, so you can benefit from the most exciting and efficient innovations the market has to offer.

Fibre optic cabling has proved to be particularly popular amongst our clients over recent years. Fibre optic cables are faster and more reliable than many traditional cabling solutions and can connect CCTV, computers, telephones and broadband. Another key advantage of fibre optic cabling is that it is light, thin and requires less power whilst carrying more substantial loads of data and delivering clearer, echo-free telephone calls.

There are many factors to consider when selecting the right cabling solution for your needs, including the network you wish to run, bend radius, existing cable and electromagnetic interference. We can take a close look at your current infrastructure to suggest the most appropriate solution.

With access control, you can restrict access to high-risk areas which may contain cash, assets or costly equipment. Access control also provides you with detailed information on access, logging and recording information on visitor activity and telling you when an area was accessed, and the time access was granted. This information can be worth its weight in gold when investigations are taking place and can also help you manage attendance. Reports can even be created to let you know who is still inside the building if an emergency unfolds.

Access control can also help you dispense with keys, as access can be granted via swipe cards, fingerprints and buttons. You won’t need to worry about keys being illegally reproduced and you can customise schedules, so employees can only gain access to areas at certain times.

At MSE, we have significant experience when it comes to supplying access control systems for clients from a wide range of sectors. We are passionate about delivering the security our clients require, and we can also provide a number of additional security services including CCTV.

CCTV

CCTV or closed-circuit television also offers a number of benefits to the security-conscious companies and organisations of today. CCTV can capture vital evidence to bring wrongdoers to justice when they gain or attempt to gain unauthorised access to your premises or when an employee has violated your workplace code of conduct. The efficiency of CCTV has grown dramatically over recent years, making images clearer and easier to derive valuable information than ever before.

Of course, there are many CCTV solutions available on the market today. At MSE, we can look closely at your current needs and circumstances to help you obtain a CCTV solution that is ideal for your requirements.

Building Management Systems

Our building management system solutions allow you to optimise the intelligence and efficiency of your building to make it smarter and deliver a more comprehensive overview of your operations. We have designed and implemented building management systems for clients from a range of industries and can either design a whole system from scratch or add new solutions to your existing facilities.

Our building management systems enable you to cut the cost of running your business whilst ensuring your assets, buildings and employees are protected. When an intelligent building management system is in place, you can enhance the security of your premises, gain greater control over who can and cannot enter your building and specific areas of it, enjoy better protection against a host of security threats and strengthen any vulnerabilities your building may currently be faced with.

Building management systems aren’t simply focused on security. They can also help you reduce operating costs substantially. Systems can be designed to control the amount of energy and heat used by your building, provide better air conditioning, ventilation and lighting and window efficiency. We can provide you with the market’s latest and most efficient technology to gain much greater control of your energy usage to vastly reduce waste. We can provide you with a tailored building control system to make sure your business premises are as comfortable, safe and secure as they possibly can be. Our engineers have the experience and expertise needed to provide you with building management systems that you can rely on all-year-round, whatever the climate has to throw at you, whilst keeping your assets safe and secure. Whether you need to start from the ground up or need a helping hand with moving things forward, we can help.

Emergency lighting

There are scores of good reasons for investing in an emergency lighting system. It’s advisable for all business premises to have emergency lighting in place to support them if they are ever plunged into darkness for any reason. Emergency lighting can provide vital visibility when a primary power supply fails, for instance when a fire or a power outage occurs. Without backup lighting in place in the event of a fire, staff and visitors may find it impossible to find a safe way out of the building, which means that situation could be fatal.

Fire alarms

At MSE, we can come to your assistance if you need to purchase fire alarms and fire alarm systems for your business premises. The way that fire alarms provide us with early warnings of smoke and fire have proved pivotal in saving countless lives over the years. Fire alarms can be installed all around your business premises and can be linked to remote monitoring systems so fire-fighters can be alerted to emergencies and head out to site immediately, even if nobody is in your building at the time that the fire breaks out.

When an adequate number of fire alarms are in place, you can gain the extra evacuation time you need before the fire spreads. Fire alarms can also prompt you to send for medical help, and firefighters can get to the scene quickly to retrieve people from the building. Fire alarms, extinguishers, exit lights and sprinkler systems all have an important role to play in any fire alarm system.

When you have a reliable fire alarm system in place, fire-fighters can gain control of a fire earlier, potentially saving more of your building. At MSE, we are experts when it comes to designing and implementing fire safety systems and can help you make your business premises as resistant to fire as possible.

Automatic rapid roller doors

Rapid roller doors are another facility that we specialise in at MSE. Rapid roller doors are commonly found in premises such as warehouses across the UK and further afield. They are normally installed in high-traffic doorways where a tight seal is required, and we can provide roller doors that adhere fully with your exact needs and circumstances. We can help you find automatic rapid roller doors that deliver an outstanding return-on-investment and can withstand high levels of use. We can also provide advice on operating the doors safely, so your staff can use them without putting themselves or anyone else in danger.

Automatic sliding doors                        

More and more companies from various industries are feeling the benefits of automatic sliding doors. Businesses invest in automatic sliding doors for many reasons. One of the most common reasons for purchasing automatic sliding doors is to save space. You may also wish to purchase automatic sliding doors when you require large, heavy doors which cannot easily be opened and closed manually. Sliding doors are used by a wide range of clients, including factory and warehouse-based businesses in particular. With more and more companies starting to outgrow their facilities, industrial sliding doors can be worth their weight in gold when it comes to creating extra space without being forced to relocate into bigger premises.

Sliding doors also offer substantial benefits when it comes to security, access and safety. These doors are placed on specially-designed tracks and open by either folding or sliding to the side. The chances of employees and equipment being damaged by the doors are vastly reduced thanks to the way that they don’t need to swing in order to provide access. When sliding doors are fitted with seals, they can help business owners maintain the required temperature to keep productivity and comfort levels high. In some circumstances, sliding doors can be kept open for longer periods of time, such as in warmer temperatures. Sliding doors can also provide excellent sound insulation, enabling you to keep external noise outside, and to prevent your operations from irritating those that live close by. Talk to the experts at MSE today if you are considering in investing in automatic sliding doors for your business. We have many years’ experience in providing sliding doors for our clients and always listen closely to what you have to say in order to identify and implement the finest possible solution for your specific needs.

Automated gates

We are also here to help when you require automated gates for your business. Automated gates have obvious benefits when it comes to security and can vastly reduce the chances of unauthorised access to your business premises being gained. Automated gates can play a big role in deterring would-be burglars and other trespassers. Not only do automated gates act as a valuable physical deterrent, they can help you save money on costly mobile patrols. You can add a range of useful facilities to your gate, including an intercom and a camera to enhance the security of your premises. With automated gates in place, you can provide your assets with the protection that they need so you won’t need to worry about the cost of replacing them.

There are many options available to you when it comes to the appearance of your gates. At MSE, we can help you find gates that not only do the job to the highest standard but also provide an excellent visual fit for your premises. We can also provide you with gates that lock automatically after they are closed. To find out more about the wide range of automated gates we offer, simply get in touch today.

Air conditioning

Another field that we specialise in is air conditioning and ventilation. We can provide air conditioning for commercial, industrial and residential clients and are able to cater for a comprehensive range of needs. We can provide air conditioning installation, servicing, repair and inspection services. There are many great reasons for investing in or optimising your electrical air conditioning services. When high-quality air conditioning is offered, workplaces can become much more comfortable, with workforces becoming more productive as a result.

Advancements in technology have led to air conditioning becoming more reliable, efficient and versatile than ever. Air conditioning is used in all sorts of commercial, educational and industrial environments such as offices, homes, shops, factories, warehouses and many more. Air conditioning gives us the warmth we require when temperatures fall and the coolness we need when they rise. Many of today’s systems can even take air from warm areas of a building and send it to cooler ones. Air conditioning can also prevent illness, which means it is ideal for addressing business continuity concerns. The way that air conditioning is able to purify the air also means those with certain allergies are being catered for. Air conditioning can also reduce humidity, so complaints about ‘stickiness’ in the air can be avoided.

It’s especially important to invest in air conditioning if you are running a commercial enterprise as you may be met with sizeable penalties if you fail to meet certain temperature requirements. Air conditioning gives you greater control over temperatures and means you can keep clients, visitors and potential investors happy as well as your employees.

Renewables

As an eco-friendly company, we offer various renewable energy solutions, such as energy saving lighting, air source heat pumps and solar thermal systems. Our solar thermal solutions take heat from the sun to heat water for your business premises using panels to collect the sun’s heat. The water is then heated up, with the hot water being pumped through a coil inside the cylinder. Our renewables are designed to help you cut costs and make a greater contribution to the environment. Simply contact us today to find out more about our various renewables solutions.

Our service packages

The service packages offered by MSE are designed to meet a host of needs whilst ensuring your business can continue to run smoothly. We offer a series of preventative maintenance packages for air conditioning, heating units, ventilation units and other forms of electrical equipment. When your equipment is tested and serviced on a regular basis, your business can comply with regulations whilst protecting the safety and well-being of all employees and visitors as well as their business assets.

When electrical appliances and wiring are tested on a regular basis, lives can be saved as deaths from electric shock and fire are prevented. Our electrical testing and certification service also enables you to comply with all health and safety legislation.

Choosing electrical contractors

It’s always wise to invest a substantial amount of time into finding the right industrial electrical contractors for your needs. If you simply opt for the first service you find, you may risk opting for a substandard service that causes more problems than it solves. Before you start to look for an electrical contractor, you should think carefully about what your exact needs are so you can communicate them clearly. You should have a clear idea of what your budget is, how long you expect the project to take and what you want the outcome to look like.

Many business owners often ask their associates if there is anyone they can recommend for carrying out electrical services duties. Another way to find the right electrical services contractor is to draw up a shortlist of four or five different companies and speak to each of them so you can get a deeper insight into how they can help you. Once you have spoken to each potential contractor, you should find it easier to identify the right option for your requirements.

Looking for testimonials is another great way of finding the right electrical services provider. Few reputable service providers will hold back when it comes to pointing you in the direction of satisfied clients. If testimonials from well-known companies and organisations appear on their website, these will almost certainly be genuine. Positive feedback from a well-known client will nearly always be a symbol of quality. Never hesitate to ask for references if you feel you require them.

You also need to look for accreditations. MSE are accredited by a number of leading bodies such as the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) and the Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association (PAMSA). This means you can rest assured you’re working with a high-calibre company when you opt for our services. It is often wise to choose a company that can not only provide installation services but design your solution too, providing a unified solution. You also need to ensure your company is regulated and marked against such industry standards as ISO9001 and NICEIC – as MSE are.

You should have no trouble in terms of getting in touch with your chosen contractor when you need to. A strong social media presence is always a good sign of quality. For instance, if their Facebook page tells you they are ‘very responsive’ to messages, this may put your mind at rest. You should be able to contact the company through a variety of channels, including e-mail, social media, their website and phone. Review sites are also a good source for learning more about a company’s reputation. Stick to the most well-known sites so you know fake reviews are being clamped down on stringently. By taking these steps, you can heighten the chances of entering into a relationship you won’t come to regret further down the line.
