Portfolio
A selection of commercial projects we have completed since establishing ZaP Electrical Systems Ltd. Select a project to see the full write-up and photos.
Complete upgrade of an existing mains room to supply multiple new buildings, delivered against a National Grid supply-upgrade deadline.
When we arrived on site to inspect the works, it was immediately apparent that the existing mains room, which supplied buildings scheduled for demolition, needed significant upgrading to meet modern standards of safety, reliability and functionality.
We completely removed the existing distribution boards and busbar systems, then designed and installed a new panel board and distribution boards configured to the client’s power requirements. We also supplied, designed and installed all associated containment, giving a complete, professionally organised infrastructure for the new system.
The client had already begun the process with National Grid to upgrade the incoming supply cable, so the project was under strict time constraints from the outset. We mobilised immediately and started without delay so the client’s schedule was not affected.
The new infrastructure supports the client’s move from their existing premises into a new block of offices, powered from the newly installed panel board, with a focus on safety, reliability, capacity and future requirements.





A complete EV charging installation for a company fleet: a new three-phase distribution board, over 200m of underground supply and individually monitored charge points.
While planning the relocation of their office staff to new premises, our client identified a need for electric vehicle charging to support the company’s move to electric vehicles.
Once charger locations were confirmed, we designed and planned the complete installation, including cable routes and containment. Electrical design software was used to calculate the required supply capacity and the cable sizing for the three-phase distribution board feeding the charge points.
To keep a clean, professional appearance, the main supply cable was run underground in ducting for more than 200 metres. A 150mm cable tray along the perimeter fencing carries the supply and extra-low-voltage cabling to each point, with protective netting fitted to conceal it.
Each charge point has its own supply and CT clamp for accurate load monitoring and load management, and the system has spare capacity so more chargers can be added as the client’s needs grow.



External lighting at a school upgraded from 2D fluorescent bulkheads to energy-efficient LED, planned around a live school environment.
The school asked us to upgrade multiple external lighting points across the site, replacing existing 2D 4-pin fluorescent bulkhead fittings with modern, energy-efficient LED alternatives.
As with all our projects, we started with careful planning: assessing the existing installation, identifying materials and equipment, planning the works and providing a detailed quotation.
Because the work took place in a live school, the safety of pupils, staff and visitors was a key consideration. We worked around opening hours and avoided periods when children were present in the working areas, keeping disruption to a minimum.
The old fittings were removed and replaced with LED bulkheads using the existing cables and infrastructure, giving the school a more reliable, efficient and contemporary lighting solution.



Full strip-out and a brand-new, robust installation for a warehouse and office unit being prepared for rental.
We were tasked with the complete isolation and removal of the existing electrical installation, followed by the design, planning and installation of a brand-new system throughout the unit.
As the unit was being prepared for rental, the client wanted a minimal but high-quality installation providing all essential services while staying robust enough for different workforces using the warehouse.
After safely isolating the installation at the main incoming supply and removing all redundant equipment and wiring, we installed new surface-mounted galvanised steel trunking and conduit. Metal-clad sockets and switches were fitted throughout for extra mechanical protection in a warehouse environment.
The new installation includes LED lighting throughout, mechanical ventilation supplies for the kitchen and W/C facilities, and a dedicated supply for the water heater, all planned around the intended use of the premises.
