Our Double Pole Isolator Installation Services
We work closely with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and housing associations to ensure all our installations are fully compliant and executed to the highest safety standards. We install double pole isolators across Essex, London and the surrounding areas. Our services include:
- Removal and resealing of the main cut-out.
- Installation of double pole isolators with integrated surge protection.
- Full compliance with new UK electrical safety regulations.
Once installation is complete, we reseal the cut-out, meter and isolator using our sealing pliers, which have our own personal identification number. This provides assurance to you and the DNO that the work has been completed to a professional standard and helps prevent electricity theft.
