Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Checking in at the Varsity Hotel

19th March 2021

It’s been another busy week here at MS Electrical, and we’re finishing on a high with another brilliant testimonial from a satisfied client, this time the prestigious Varsity Hotel & Spa in central Cambridge. The Varsity is a luxury boutique hotel close to the city centre and historic University colleges such as St John’s, Trinity and King’s, so we were delighted to assist them with their fixed wire testing.

Although also closed to the public, the Varsity is currently open for business travellers, and their leisure facilities all remain in use, so we needed to plan and execute the testing project with efficiency and precision. We achieved this to great effect, as the testimonial we received from Will Davies confirms:

‘MS Electrical Services attended the hotel to do the five yearly fixed wire testing, all done without any fuss, quickly and completed very thoroughly. We were able to pass on any remedial work to our electrician and MS Electrical were able to liaise with him on anything he was not sure about. Thoroughly recommend MS Electrical Services for fixed wire testing if you require a competitive price, thorough work and a no fuss attitude.’

For Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, feedback such as this is hugely uplifting. ‘Clients are under no obligation to provide a testimonial about the quality of our service, so it’s really gratifying when they choose to do so,’ says Mark. ‘We planned the Varsity project in great detail in order to keep any disruption to a minimum, and we were pleased to liaise with the hotel team to ensure everything ran smoothly. We greatly value recognition for our attention to detail, and we would welcome the opportunity to work with other hotels and hospitality venues that require fixed wire testing and PAT testing, especially if this has to be carried out while paying guests are on site.’

MS Electrical Services offer PAT testing and fixed wire testing in Cambridge, so please contact us to request a no-obligation quotation.

Testimonials

MS Electrical Services recently successfully completed our fixed wire testing. This was the first time we had had to undertake organising this task, since our building is only five years old, and so we needed to ensure it was in safe hands. MS Electrical Services certainly exceeded expectations. Very efficient, helpful and reliable. What seemed to me to be quite an undertaking became very manageable with MS Electrical's helpful guidance and advice. I would gladly recommend them.
