Temporary site power installations in Woking
- 01
What a site supply includes
Once the network operator connects a temporary supply to a meter cabinet, we fit a site distribution board with RCD protection, outlets for tools and lighting, and power for welfare cabins. Most power tools on site run from 110V transformers to reduce the risk of shock.

Keeping it safe on site
Building sites are hard on cables and equipment. Leads get driven over, boards get knocked and water gets in. Site installations should be inspected far more often than a home, often every three months, and damaged equipment taken out of use straight away.

From temporary to permanent
On a new build or major renovation, the temporary supply can often be planned so it hands over neatly to the permanent installation. We can wire the building itself as well, then remove the site board once the permanent supply is live.
What to expect from a temporary site power installation
We start by agreeing what the site needs: how many trades, which tools and cabins, and where the board should sit. If the temporary supply hasn't been requested yet, we explain what the network operator needs from you to apply for it.
Once the supply is connected, we install and test the site board and outlets and give you a certificate. We can return for regular inspections during the build, adjust the setup as the work moves on, and remove everything safely at the end.

Temporary Site Power Installation questions
How do I get a temporary builders' supply in Woking?
You apply to the network operator for a temporary connection, usually to a meter cabinet at the edge of the site. You'll also need an energy supplier for the meter. Once it's connected, an electrician installs the site board and outlets from that point.
Why do building sites use 110V power tools?
Because a 110V system, centre-tapped to earth, greatly reduces the shock voltage if a tool or lead is damaged. It's the recommended standard on UK construction sites, so we supply site outlets through transformers and keep 230V for cabins and fixed lighting where appropriate.
How often should site electrics be inspected?
More often than in a finished building, because the conditions are harsh. Guidance commonly suggests inspecting construction site installations every three months, with daily visual checks of leads and tools by the people using them. We can book regular visits for you.
Can you also wire the new building on my Woking site?
Yes. Many builders and self-builders in Woking use us for both. We set up the temporary supply first, then carry out first and second fix on the building itself, and remove the site board once the permanent supply is connected.
