A Dependable Electrical Partner Within Your Supply Chain
AC1 Electrical Services Ltd works as an electrical supply-chain partner to principal contractors, main contractors and building contractors across the South East of England.
We deliver managed electrical work packages within our partners’ programmes, procedures and client requirements. This includes planned and reactive maintenance, compliance programmes, refurbishment works, rewiring, electrical installations, testing, remedials and project-based electrical works.
Established in 2011, we understand that successful supply-chain delivery involves more than completing the electrical installation. It requires reliable communication, programme coordination, safe working, quality control, accurate reporting, certification and professional representation of the contractor to its client, residents and building users.
