Why SES

A compliance-led fire & electrical contractor

SES has spent years looking after London's buildings — the fire alarms that have to work, the certificates that have to be in date, and the electrical installations behind both. We're just as comfortable in a managed office block or a much-loved parish church, and we build long-term relationships rather than chasing one-off jobs.

  • NICEIC-approved electrical contractor — work assessed to the current wiring regulations and properly certified
  • Over two decades of experience across London commercial, residential and community buildings
  • Genuine experience in churches, community centres and managed properties
  • Long-term, compliance-led relationships with landlords, agents and businesses

Excellent installation of a ceiling fan. Very complex installation done, via the steaming loft, with patience and on the hottest day of the year…

SES and Byron were genuinely terrific. Apart from the fire alarm being absolute top quality, his service and manner of conducting himself was great. Respectful of the space, explained everything clearly, pleasant conversation. Thoroughly reccomend.

Great work! I’m really pleased with how Byron keeps the workspace clean and organised. His pricing is fair and reflects the work done. He comes across as highly professional and very experienced.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover London and the surrounding areas — Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond and many more. If you're not sure whether you're in our patch, send us a quick request and we'll let you know.

Are you NICEIC approved?

Yes. We're a NICEIC-approved contractor, so our work is regularly assessed against the current wiring regulations and we can issue the certificates that landlords and insurers ask for.

How often should a fire alarm system be serviced?

Most commercial fire alarm systems should be inspected and serviced at least every six months by a competent person, although some buildings, systems or risk assessments may require more frequent visits. Weekly user tests are usually carried out by the responsible person on site. SES can set up a suitable servicing schedule and keep the logbook and certification up to date.

Can you set up planned fire safety and electrical compliance maintenance?

Yes. SES can set up planned maintenance visits for fire alarm systems, emergency lighting, EICRs, remedial works, thermographic surveys and other compliance items. We help landlords, managing agents, businesses and places of worship keep inspections, servicing and paperwork organised so important dates do not get missed.

What is a thermographic survey?

A thermographic survey uses a thermal imaging camera to identify overheating electrical components, loose connections, overloaded circuits and other potential faults before they fail. It is non-invasive and is often used for commercial premises, distribution boards and larger electrical installations as part of planned maintenance or insurance-led compliance.
