OUR WORK IN LUTON AND DUNSTABLE

Central Bedfordshire College Dunstable is part of the Bedford College Group, they are a key long standing client of ours and we carry out a variety of electrical works at their sites.
This includes many aspects of electrical work ranging from small repairs to large building refurbishments, the installation of structured network cabling including fibre optic cabling, electrical installation condition reports and PAT testing.
At Central Beds we have been carrying out the electrical installation condition reports and rectifying any subsequent remedial works at five of their sites, including the main Campus at Kingsway, Dunstable.
We have also been replacing many of their older distribution boards at the Kingsway Campus for modern equivalents, this includes the introduction of 30mA RCD protection to many previously unprotected circuits thus increasing the electrical safety in the building.
