We had to work closely with the Hospital Trust as well as other contractors on site, within each ward, whilst refurbishments were being carried out.

The main installation works consisted of the following:

  • Disconnect, remove, make safe and label all circuits from the existing Distribution Boards
  • Carry out cable containment alterations for the new 3 phase Distribution Boards
  • Installation of temporary power and lighting whilst the refurbishment works take place
  • Installation of cable markings for identification of each sub circuit cable
  • Carry out reactive fault finding to circuits that do not comply to latest IET Regulations
  • Issue NICEIC Electrical Certificate on completion of works

Works were carried out over a period of 18 months once the wards became available.

I was recommended to Oakleaf Electrical when I started working at Maidstone Hospital, in 2015. Dealing with both Tony and Phil, I have found them to be a very professional company. Oakleaf have helped me ensure projects are completed to tight deadlines, on several occasions over the years.
