Location: Hospital Hill, Aldershot, GU11 1AY
Date: June 2025
Duration: 1 day
Client Overview
Crest Washroom Systems Ltd is a leading provider of commercial washroom solutions, based in Farnborough, Hampshire. The company sought to upgrade its workshop facilities at the Aldershot Centre for Health to enhance operational efficiency and staff comfort.
Project Overview
In June 2025, Express Commercial Solutions was commissioned by Crest Washroom Systems Ltd to undertake a complete workshop fit-out at the Aldershot Centre for Health. The goal was to improve the functionality of the existing workspace through strategic electrical upgrades and reconfiguration of power and lighting systems.
Scope of Work
The project scope included both supply and installation services, completed within a one-day timeframe. Key deliverables included:
- Installation of two ceiling-mounted infrared heater panels (360 watts each), controlled via a time-lag switch to optimise energy use.
- Installation of two double sockets above the workbench on the right-hand wall for improved accessibility and power management.
- Reconfiguration of existing lighting feeds to suit the new workshop layout and to resolve a pre-existing electrical issue.
- Reinstatement of an external socket in the bin store area to restore full outdoor electrical functionality.
- Connection of all new systems to the existing fuse board using SWA (Steel Wired Armoured) cabling for safety and compliance.
Duration: 1 day
All works were carried out in accordance with current Health and Safety regulations, including compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (1991).
Health and Safety Compliance
Express Commercial Solutions implemented strict safety controls throughout the project. This included:
- Signed risk assessments and method statements for each work phase.
- Mandatory use of PPE (hard hats, high-visibility clothing, steel-toe boots, gloves, and eye protection).
- Safe access and egress to all work areas are maintained throughout the duration of the fit-out.
Project Execution
The installation was coordinated efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to on-site operations at the health facility. All electrical works were tested upon completion, ensuring full functionality and adherence to safety standards.
Challenges and Solutions
- Lighting Reconfiguration: The team identified and resolved an existing electrical fault during the lighting rework, ensuring system safety and reliability.
- Site Access Coordination: The project required careful planning to maintain access compliance within a live healthcare environment.
Outcome
The workshop fit-out was completed on time and within budget. Crest Washroom Systems Ltd gained a more efficient and compliant workspace, enhancing both productivity and safety standards.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates Express Commercial Solutions’ commitment to delivering reliable, compliant, and efficient electrical fit-outs tailored to client needs. The successful completion at the Aldershot Centre for Health reinforces the company’s reputation for providing high-quality solutions within tight schedules and sensitive environments.
