Distribution Board & Switchgear Solutions

Distribution boards and switchgear are the heart of your electrical installation, controlling and protecting every circuit in your building. Whether you need a new distribution system for a fit-out, an upgrade to accommodate increased demand, or maintenance on existing equipment, MB Electrical provides expert services for commercial and industrial premises across Bristol.

We design and install single-phase and three-phase distribution boards, main switchboards, sub-distribution boards, and associated switchgear. Our installations use quality components from leading manufacturers and are designed for reliability, safety, and ease of future maintenance. We ensure correct discrimination between protective devices, appropriate fault ratings, and full compliance with BS 7671.

For existing installations, we provide upgrades to replace obsolete boards, add capacity for new circuits, and bring your system up to current standards. We also offer planned maintenance including thermal imaging surveys, bolt torque checks, and protective device testing to identify potential issues before they cause failures or downtime.

MB Electrical holds NICEIC Approved Contractor status — the highest tier of NICEIC accreditation. This requires regular assessment of competence across domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical work, ensuring that every project we deliver meets the highest professional standards.

Our Distribution Board Installation Process

1

Assessment & Load Analysis

We survey your existing installation, review your power requirements, and identify the optimal distribution strategy for your premises — whether that is a new board, an upgrade, or a complete redesign.

2

Design & Specification

We design the distribution system, select appropriate equipment from leading manufacturers, and produce schematic drawings showing board layouts, circuit details, and protective device settings.

3

Supply & Installation

We procure all equipment, install the boards and switchgear, and carry out all associated wiring and containment. Work is planned to minimise shutdowns and maintain supply to critical circuits.

4

Testing & Verification

We fully test the installation including protective device operation, discrimination verification, insulation resistance, and earth fault loop impedance. All results are documented.

5

Documentation & Handover

You receive installation certificates, test schedules, schematic drawings, and a full handover package. We label all boards and circuits clearly for easy future identification.

Pricing Tailored to Your Project

Every distribution board and switchgear project is different. We provide free, no-obligation quotes based on your specification, number of circuits, and site requirements.

"Michael installed 4 new mains outlets in our kitchen. He worked quickly and efficiently, and also re-plastered the area, AND CLEANED UP THE MESS, making sure there was no dust/dirt/rubbish for me to worry about. Thank you very much, Michael."
