The Role of Commercial Electricians

A domestic electrician may be ideal for homes, but Portsmouth businesses need something more specialised. Our team of commercial electricians understand the complexities of large-scale wiring systems, emergency lighting, fire alarms, and workplace safety, nuanced topics that require a depth of practical experience to get right. From offices and schools to warehouses and restaurants, we know every industry has unique electrical demands that must be met with precision—and that’s exactly what we bring to every job.

Because downtime equals lost revenue, businesses can’t afford to wait. That’s why we provide:

  • 24/7 coverage for any electrical emergency
  • Routine testing, inspection, and compliance checks, including EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) services
  • Expert installation of sustainable infrastructure, such as EV charger points for commercial car parks and logistics hubs

With Knight Electrical & Plumbing, you get access to a Portsmouth electrician capable of keeping your business connected, compliant, and protected.
