Electrical scope on Grade II listed buildings

Listed projects fail in two places: fabric interventions that were “obviously reversible” to the contractor but not to conservation, and M&E routes that were drawn beautifully but never built that way on site.

Routing and containment

Assume photography at key stages. Prefer techniques that leave a forensic trail: existing chases identified, new penetrations logged, and any resin or adhesive products named with datasheets.

LBC and Part P

We are not planning lawyers — but we know what questions come back when electrical scope touches external fabric, basements or roof voids. Bring us in when the heritage statement is still an outline; we can flag the electrical clauses that usually get challenged.

Lighting control in sensitive rooms

Wireless can be appropriate — but so can a discreet wired backbone with local modules. The answer depends on latency, RF noise, fabric and maintenance access. The heritage team cares about visibility and reversibility; we translate that into a buildable control topology.
