Commercial Electrical Services for UK Businesses
GridGuys is a commercial electrical lead-connect platform. We help businesses and commercial organisations connect with electrical contractors for commercial and industrial requirements, from a single remedial job to planned works across a portfolio of premises.
GridGuys does not carry out electrical work. We take the details of a requirement and pass the enquiry to a contractor working in that category and area, who then quotes and deals with you directly.

Types of requirement
Reactive and planned electrical requirements
Reactive electrical requirements
Faults, failures and unsafe findings that need attention before normal operation can continue: loss of supply on a circuit or board, tripping that will not reset, damaged distribution equipment, failed emergency lighting or a defect raised during an inspection.
- Fault finding and diagnosis on distribution and final circuits
- Making safe, isolation and temporary arrangements
- Remedial works following a report or inspection finding
- Out-of-hours attendance where a site cannot stop during trading
Planned electrical projects
Work that can be programmed, specified and priced in advance, usually around occupancy, production or a construction programme.
- Fit-out, refurbishment and reconfiguration of existing space
- Lighting schemes, LED replacement and emergency lighting installation
- Distribution board changes, sub-mains and capacity upgrades
- Machinery, plant and process power installations
- Periodic inspection and testing planned across a programme
Ongoing requirements
Maintenance and multi-site needs
Many commercial requirements are continuing rather than one-off: a fixed wire testing programme spread over several years, planned preventative maintenance on distribution equipment and emergency lighting, and reactive cover for faults that cannot wait for the next planned visit.
Where several premises are involved, the practical questions are usually consistency of records, how attendance is arranged across locations, and how remedial works arising from testing are handled. The enquiry form allows you to state the number of sites, any existing maintenance arrangement and any access or out-of-hours constraints, so a contractor can respond to the whole picture rather than a single job.
How the matching process works
- 01
You describe the requirement
Service category, site postcode, premises type, the works involved and your timeframe. Drawings, photographs, specifications or a previous report can be attached.
- 02
We review what has been submitted
We look at the type of work, the location and the timeframe so the enquiry is directed at a contractor set up for that kind of commercial or industrial work.
- 03
The enquiry is passed on
Your details are passed to an electrical contractor. GridGuys does not carry out electrical work and does not price the works itself.
- 04
The contractor deals with you directly
Any survey, quotation, programme, contract and the work itself are between you and that contractor.
GridGuys is a matching service, not the contractor. Read our approach to contractor selection and how enquiries are handled.
