Commercial Electrician in Gateshead

LC Electrical Services NE Ltd is a NICEIC approved commercial and industrial electrical contractor working across Gateshead. The borough sits on the south bank of the Tyne and carries a heavier concentration of industrial floorspace than almost anywhere else in the region, led by Team Valley Trading Estate, one of the largest business parks in the country with well over 700 occupiers ranging from manufacturers and distribution firms to trade counters and offices.

We are based a short distance away in Boldon Colliery, South Tyneside, giving us fast access into Gateshead via the A1, the A194(M) and the Tyne Bridge and Redheugh Bridge crossings. That proximity matters when a distribution board trips overnight in a Team Valley warehouse or when a retail unit at the Metrocentre needs a fault found before opening time.

Team Valley and the Metrocentre

Team Valley Trading Estate is where the bulk of our Gateshead work is concentrated. We carry out commercial electrical installations for units being fitted out for new tenants, three phase supply upgrades for manufacturers bringing in new machinery, and industrial electrical services including distribution board replacement and cable containment for logistics operators. The Metrocentre and the surrounding Metrocentre East and Retail Park generate a steady stream of commercial EICR work as unit leases change hands, alongside LED lighting upgrades for retailers looking to cut running costs across large sales floors.

Gateshead Quays, town centre and beyond

Gateshead Quays, home to the Sage Gateshead and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, has a hospitality and events sector that depends on reliable power and correctly maintained emergency lighting. Gateshead town centre and the Trinity Square development bring office and retail landlords needing planned electrical maintenance contracts, while Felling, Deckham and Birtley have their own pockets of light industrial and trade premises that we visit regularly for emergency electrician callouts and routine testing.

We also work with schools and academies across the borough. Our school electrical contractor service covers everything from classroom lighting circuits to fire alarm servicing during term-time and holiday periods, and our retail shop fit electrics team has handled unit fit outs on both Team Valley Retail World and the Metrocentre concourse.

Recent Gateshead area work

Our EICR remediation and rewire at Welding Engineers in Boldon reflects the same distribution board and machinery supply work we regularly carry out for Team Valley manufacturers, and our industrial extraction project at Delcor in Northumberland shows the scale of industrial installation we can deliver for larger Gateshead occupiers.

Standards and certification

All installation and inspection work in Gateshead is carried out to BS 7671 18th Edition and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, with emergency lighting to BS 5266 and fire alarm work to BS 5839. LC Electrical Services NE Ltd is a NICEIC Approved Contractor, NAPIT registered and TrustMark endorsed, with UKAS accredited calibration on our test equipment, so every certificate we issue on Team Valley or in the town centre stands up to scrutiny from insurers, landlords and building control.

Facilities managers on Team Valley often ask us to combine several services into one visit, for example an EICR alongside emergency lighting testing and a review of distribution board loading before new machinery arrives. Bundling this work reduces disruption to production lines and keeps a single, consistent record of certification for insurance and building control purposes. We also work closely with main contractors on larger fit outs, taking on the electrical package for warehouse extensions and new mezzanine floors across the estate.

Gateshead sits between two of our other core patches. To the north across the Tyne is Newcastle, to the west along the A1 is Washington, and to the south east is Sunderland, so a multi-site business with premises across the wider area can use us as a single point of contact for every location.
