Hazardous Area Electrician Cornwall
CompEx Certified Electrical Services for Explosive Atmospheres
Operating under the ATEX Directives and DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations), our CompEx-certified engineers ensure your facility is safe, compliant, and free from ignition sources.
Understanding Hazardous Areas
Many business owners in Cornwall are unaware that their premises contain "Hazardous Zones." It is not just oil refineries; it applies to many common industries.
We support clients in:
Petrol Stations & Fuel Depots: Working around pumps, tanks, and vapor recovery systems.
Paint Spray Booths: Installing safe lighting and extraction in automotive body shops.
Distilleries & Breweries: Managing ethanol vapors in production areas.
Agricultural & Flour Mills: Controlling the risk of combustible dust explosions (grain/flour).
Woodworking Shops: Managing sawdust accumulation near electrical gear.
Our Specialist Services
We provide a complete lifecycle service for hazardous areas, from initial design to ongoing safety checks.
ATEX Installations
We design and install ATEX-rated systems for explosive environments, ensuring strict safety compliance and operational reliability.
CompEx Inspections
Our CompEx certified engineers conduct detailed inspections to verify your equipment meets DSEAR regulations and safety standards.
Hazardous Maintenance
Hazardous areas need specialized care. We maintain and repair ATEX equipment to ensure continuous safety in your volatile zones.
Industrial Services
Industrial Electrical Installations
Whether you are commissioning a new production line or upgrading an ageing facility, you need power you can rely on.
Our engineers are experienced in designing and installing high-load systems that cope with the rigorous demands of modern industry.
Industrial Inspection & Testing
Industrial sites are subject to the strictest safety regulations in the UK, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. We provide forensic-level testing services to ensure your facility remains compliant, insurable, and safe for your workforce.
Our reporting is detailed, jargon-free, and highlights urgent issues before they become critical failures.
Preventative Maintenance & Testing
The most expensive repair is the one that stops production. Our preventative maintenance schedules are designed to catch faults before they cause downtime.
We work around your shift patterns to ensure your business stays compliant and operational.
Hazardous Area (CompEx) & ATEX
Working in explosive atmospheres requires more than a standard electrician; it requires specialist certification and a "safety-first" mindset.
As one of the few contractors in the South West with CompEx accreditation, we are qualified to work in high-risk environments where gas, vapour, or dust pose a threat.
