Shop, Office & Unit Fit-Outs
Electrical packages for shop, office and unit fit-outs across Kent and Medway. Containment, power, data, lighting and certification, worked to the programme.
In short
Who does shop and office fit-out electrics in Kent?
William's Electrical takes on the electrical package for shop, office and light industrial fit-outs across Kent, Medway and South East London. That means the whole first-fix to hand-over run: containment and cable routes coordinated with the ceiling grid and partitions, sub-main and distribution board to suit the new layout, small power and data containment, lighting and emergency lighting, shopfront and signage supplies, and final testing with certification issued in time for hand-over. We work to a shopfitter's or main contractor's programme, attend site meetings where they are called, and price the out-of-hours and phased working that a trading centre or occupied office needs. Call 07825 333341 to talk through a programme.
Shop, Office & Unit Fit-Outs across Kent
A fit-out is judged on whether you hit the programme. The electrical package usually sits on the critical path twice — once at first fix, when containment and cable routes have to be in before the ceilings and partitions close up, and again at the end, when nothing can be handed over or signed off until testing and certification are done. We work to the programme rather than to our own convenience: first fix when the shell is ready, second fix behind the ceiling grid and joinery, and certification issued so hand-over isn't waiting on paperwork. We take on shops, offices, salons, clinics, cafes and light industrial units across Kent and Medway, either directly for the end client or as the electrical subcontractor to a shopfitter or main contractor.

How it works
Drawings & programme
We price from the layout and the programme, and flag anything that will not work on site before it becomes a variation.
First fix
Containment, cable routes and back boxes in before the ceilings and partitions close up.
Second fix & commissioning
Accessories, lighting and boards terminated, then circuits tested and commissioned.
Certify & hand over
Full certification, emergency lighting completion certificate and a labelled board schedule for the hand-over file.

Shop, Office & Unit Fit-Outs — common questions
Do you work as a subcontractor to shopfitters and main contractors?
Yes — a good share of our commercial work comes that way. We price from your drawings and programme, work to your site rules and attend progress meetings where they're called, and we provide risk assessments and method statements for the works before we start on site where your site rules require them. If you need us to fit around other trades or work nights to hold a date, say so at tender stage and it gets priced in rather than argued about later.
Can you work nights or weekends in a trading centre?
Yes, and for shopping-centre and high-street units it's often the only practical option. Centre management usually sets the working window and the access rules, and we price evening or weekend working up front against those. It costs more per hour and less overall than losing trading days.
How quickly can certification be issued after the work is done?
Normally within a couple of working days of the final test, and faster if a hand-over or opening date depends on it. Tell us the date you need the certificates by and we'll work the testing back from it. Nothing holds up a hand-over more predictably than paperwork left to the end.
Will you price a fit-out from drawings?
Yes. Send the layout, the ceiling and lighting drawings if you have them, and the programme, and we'll come back with an itemised price. For anything beyond a small unit we'd rather also walk the site before starting, because the existing supply, the incoming position and what the landlord will allow are the three things that most often move the figure.
