Who Do You Carry Out Work For?

We are electrical contractors for commercial and industrial clients. From Councils and large businesses to landlords, shops, letting/estate agents, housing associations and high street stores throughout East Anglia.

What Type Of Work Do You Carry Out?

We carry out all electrical installations, maintenance, inspections, testing and certification work. Everything from the installation of three phase industrial supplies to new builds. From CCTV and fire alarm systems to circuit boards. As highly qualified electrical contractors the bulk of the work we undertake is medium to large contract work. Smaller projects can be just as challenging and fulfilling – we have electrical contractors and a pricing structure to suit all electrical work.

Maintenance services are available for your property on a contract basis to keep your costs down, ensure your insurance company is happy and keep you within budgetary constraints.
The inspection and testing service includes fixed wiring testing of the electrics within your properties as well as appliance testing through our PAT Testing service.

What Areas Do Your Electrical Contractors Cover?

All our electrical services are available  throughout approximately a 100 mile radius of the City of Peterborough. Our offices and workshops are in Yaxley. Our electrical contractors regularly work in villages, towns and cities throughout the area.

What Are Your Prices?

It’s our responsibility to ensure you get the most appropriate solution for your needs in the most cost, time and resource effective manner, which is why we will discuss your particular requirements with you, make recommendations and suggestions then advise you on pricing. As all projects are different we’re happy to give you an estimate or a quotation, which is, of course, free of charge.

We’re known for providing a professional, efficient service at appropriate and competitive rates, with a focus on customer service. That’s why we’re retained by  clients as their preferred supplier.

How Can I Book You?

Call us on 01733 247581 or email us and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

How Quickly Can You Attend?

Obviously, if it’s an emergency situation an electrical engineer will be with as quickly as the situation will allow.

For scheduled work, when we can start will be dependent upon your requirements and the nature of the project. However, once we’ve agreed a date and time you will be given a specific time slot in which we will arrive and we will always keep you informed. We do ‘puff our chests out’ about the fact that we have a 96.7% record of being on time. There has been the odd time where an emergency has necessitated us being a little later than agreed but if that was to happen we would keep you fully informed.

Who Will Carry Out The Work?

A qualified electrical contractor (occasionally accompanied by apprentices) will arrive on time to complete your electrical work. They will possess the required skills and experience and will be employees (not sub-contractors) of FCE Ltd. We take extra care to screen all applicants prior to employment so you can rest assured that they are proven professionals.
