Electricity is part of everyday life, whether in the home, in commerce or in industry. The benefits it gives to our lives is however dependent upon the correct design, installation and maintenance of electrical systems. Suprisingly, there is no legal requirement for the qualification of individuals and companies undertaking such work to comply with a given standard of quality and safety. Therefore, clients requiring such services have to make their own assessment of the competence, reliability and integrity of the company they may seek to employ.

The JIB lays down the apprenticeship scheme and we have used this as the basis for training our apprentices over the years. The apprenticeship scheme is generally regarded as being one of the finest within the industry. Our electricians are measured by their academic and practical performance and are regularly assessed by City and Guilds. We are fully supportive of all our electricians and will help them wherever we can through their training.

We have a programme of ongoing training for all our staff, focussed on the ever-changing requirements of our industry. It is also important that our management continues to learn as it progresses, therefore we have training programmes in place to assist our improvement.

The quality of our materials we purchase and supply are crucial to the quality of the work that we are able to deliver to our customers. We source the vast majority of installation materials from our four main partner wholesalers who are committed to giving us the highest levels of personal service.

The materials we source are of the highest quality. We will not compromise quality to achieve lower prices. We have always used materials to the standards dictated by the British Standards Institute unless a higher specification is required.

We have a policy of purchasing the highest quality of plant and test equipment from our partner suppliers. Our quality systems then require that we test the performance of these items on a regular basis. If an item becomes unsafe, it is either disposed of or repaired. With quality controlled test equipment there is a continually monitored calibration compliance programme.

We have a policy of complete financial prudence. We reinvest our profits to improve both the depth and range of services that we are able to offer our clients. We invest in our business so those customers can invest their faith in us.

David Sykes Electrical are keenly aware that the supply of a service does not end at the completion of a contract. Therefore after-sales support such as technical, service, maintenance and follow up are essential considerations. David Sykes Electrical will endeavour to offer the highest standards and the most comprehensive service.
