Electrical safety and reliability are essential in care home settings. We provide fully compliant electrical installations and ongoing maintenance to keep residents and staff safe.
Our engineers understand the need for sensitivity and professionalism in care environments.
Care homes and supported living facilities must adhere to stringent electrical safety standards. Yet, that doesn’t mean day-to-day care can be put on hold. Care sector projects, such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, routine EICRs, and full rewires, must be carried out safely. They should also be respectful and cause minimal disruption.
Mission Road Electrical provides electrical services for care homes. They are NICEIC-certified and operate in Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire. Our engineers are DBS-checked and knowledgeable about safeguarding. They are trained to operate in live environments where safety, communication, and timing are essential. We partner with care providers, developers, and facilities managers. Together, we install, maintain, and certify systems that meet BS7671 and CQC standards. Our focus is on continuity, compliance, and providing clear reports.
We assist care homes and supported living settings by offering a wide range of installation and testing services. Our goal is to minimise disruptions while maintaining high safety standards.
Our electrical services for care homes include:
We begin with a detailed review of your site or drawings. You could take a building walk with your facilities manager. Another option is to check past EICRs or find out about access rules during care hours. This helps us plan safely around meal times, medication rounds, or quiet periods. We also confirm the standards the project must meet, such as BS7671, fire safety, or CQC expectations.
We build a clear plan that outlines costs, phasing, and technical details. If needed, we provide sample reports or documentation to support pre-inspection planning. This stage ensures you know what to expect, what we’ll deliver, and how the work aligns with your regulatory responsibilities.
We communicate early and often with on-site staff to help the project run smoothly. That might mean adjusting installation windows to fit your rota or notifying staff of temporary shutdowns. Our engineers are trained on safety, visitor protocols, and respectful behaviour in occupied areas.
Our team arrives on time, follows safety protocols, and communicates effectively. Engineers are DBS-checked, wear ID, and take care not to obstruct communal areas. Disruption-heavy work is planned carefully. For example, we limit drilling during rest hours or use signage to protect residents from work zones.
We conduct all required tests and issue NICEIC certification upon completion. Where helpful, we also provide compliance folders or digital handover packs. For care providers with multiple sites, we retain all testing records. This makes future maintenance and renewals simpler.
Our clients choose us because we deliver compliant systems with minimal disruption and no missed details. Care homes trust us for our professionalism, planning, and people. At Mission Road, everything is thoroughly documented, thoroughly tested, and clearly explained.
Our team plans ahead, shows up on time, and takes responsibility for getting it right. This means respecting staff schedules, safety policies, and the people in your building who call it home.
What we’re known for:
In care settings, electrical installations refer to systems like:
At Mission Road Electrical, we install and maintain safe systems that meet the strict safety standards outlined in BS7671. Our specialists focus on compliance and aim to minimise disruption for staff and residents.
Typical installations include:
We also deliver full rewires and distribution board upgrades. For eco-conscious providers, we offer solar PV and battery storage solutions to help lower running costs.
Small tasks, such as swapping socket fronts or updating light fittings, often don’t require notification. However, most care home work – especially that which impacts fire safety or fixed wiring – is notifiable.
We help care managers navigate this, and you can learn more about this via our health and safety approach for regulated environments.
The cost of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) depends on the size and complexity of your building. We offer transparent pricing and digital reports as part of our testing services. If you manage multiple locations, we retain certificates to simplify future scheduling.
To carry out EICRs or other testing, electricians must be fully qualified and preferably NICEIC certified. At Mission Road, all engineers are DBS-checked and are compliant with BS7671. Plus, some are experienced in working with vulnerable residents.
Minor electrical tasks can include PAT testing, changing lights, or adjusting small control panels. We offer PAT testing services to keep care homes compliant and reduce the risk of equipment faults that could disrupt day-to-day care.
Electrical work generally falls into four types: installation, maintenance, inspection/testing, and upgrades. Mission Road covers all four, from LED lighting upgrades to full site rewires. We plan projects to fit around residents’ schedules and routines.
Installing emergency lighting or a nurse call system is a typical example. These need precise placement, compliance checks, and low disruption. Our care-focused electrical services are designed for use in live environments. We always maintain respectful conduct and full certification as standard.
Installations must adhere to BS7671. They also need to follow fire safety rules and CQC guidelines. Plus, only qualified and accredited engineers should be responsible for carrying out the work. Our values reflect a long-term commitment to safe, fully documented care home projects that stand up to inspection.
We use a five-stage approach: site review, compliant design, rota coordination, safe delivery, and complete handover. We’ll always communicate clearly and plan around sensitive times, such as medication rounds.
Yes. We install EV chargers for care homes that cater to the parking needs of both visitors and staff. These installations are built for the future. They help organisations lower their carbon footprint and encourage sustainable transport choices.
Absolutely. Many care homes benefit from solar PV combined with battery storage, especially given their constant energy use. These systems lower bills and support ESG commitments. However, we’ll help you assess what works best for your building.
Concerns include trip hazards, faulty wiring, fire risks, and equipment overloads. We prioritise health and safety to minimise risks. We achieve this by performing regular maintenance and providing clear reports.
An electrician is a skilled professional who installs, repairs, or maintains systems. Electrical installation is the job itself, whether it’s a new lighting circuit or a fire alarm upgrade. Learn about the range of installation services we offer to care providers.
Typical tests include continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity. All results are documented and issued with NICEIC certificates. We also retain this data in compliance folders for easier inspection readiness.
