Fit-outs & alterations
Electrical work for new layouts, refurbished spaces and changing uses. We work through the fit-out brief with the people responsible for the premises and the wider project.

02 / AT WORK
Keep the whole premises in view.
GOOD WORK BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING
The right work.
With the business in view.
A premises is more than its floor plan. Opening hours, staff routes, customers and the equipment that must remain available all shape the work. We bring these details into the assessment and agree how access and interruptions will be managed.
01 / LOOK AT THE WHOLE PREMISES
People. Places. Practical connections.Every area.
Its own working brief.
Select an area to explore the information that makes an electrical proposal more useful.
A conversation map, not an electrical layout or escape plan.
01 / CUSTOMER SPACES
Make a good everyday impression.
Lighting, counters and useful power should support the way people arrive and use the space. Tell us about customer routes, display changes and the time the premises must be ready.
- Public access and opening hours
- Displays, counters and room layout
- Proposed lighting and control zones
02 / ELECTRICAL WORK, CONSIDERED
Enquiry. Assessment. An agreed scope.The work behind
a useful premises.
A clear electrical brief connects the installation with the activity it supports. These are useful places to begin the conversation.
Lighting improvements
Lighting and controls for offices, retail areas, stores and working spaces. The activities, existing fittings, daylight and maintenance access inform the proposal.
Power & distribution
Additional power points, equipment connections and distribution changes, following assessment of demand, existing capacity and the installation.
Inspection & remedial work
Review of concerns or existing inspection findings, with the appropriate inspection, testing and remedial scope agreed for the premises.
Emergency lighting enquiries
Assessment, installation or remedial enquiries for emergency lighting, with design, testing, records and any specialist responsibilities defined for the building.
Energy & future equipment
Electrical coordination for solar, charging, heating or new business equipment. We identify the interfaces and supply checks before work is proposed.
PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE
Changing the building?
Bring the electrical plan with it.
Electrical work often sits alongside a fit-out, a building change or a new energy system. Fennor helps join those decisions into a practical scope, with the appropriate specialist input identified.

Reviewed · Guidance, not an eligibility decision.
Grant support
Small-business energy-efficiency investment
75% · €750–€10,000
A Local Enterprise Office grant for eligible equipment identified through a qualifying Green or SEAI audit. Metering and smart controls can qualify; LED lighting must form part of a package of eligible measures.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Normally for an eligible business with 1–50 paid employees, at least six months trading, annual turnover above €30,000 and a qualifying premises. Tax-clearance and agency-client conditions apply.
- The investment must follow a Green for Business, GreenStart or SEAI energy-audit recommendation. Apply before ordering, contracting, paying a deposit or starting work.
- Building HVAC, ventilation heat recovery, insulation and solar are excluded from this LEO scheme. We separate supported equipment from ordinary electrical work in the proposal.
Grant support
Business building-management controls
Up to €30,000
SEAI support for installing or upgrading a qualifying building-management system. Scheme funding is limited to the applicable calculation, including up to 30% of eligible capital costs.
Conditions & official guidance+
- The award depends on system complexity and eligible monitoring and control points. It is not a flat €30,000 payment for every controls project.
- Obtain the SEAI offer before purchases or work. A suitable BMS specialist, technical requirements, state-aid limits and the scheme’s company and installer requirements apply.
- Fennor confirms the specialist and registered delivery roles before presenting this route in a project proposal.
Grant support
Business energy audit voucher
€2,000 voucher
Support towards a professional audit that identifies energy use and possible improvements. It funds the audit—not the electrical installation that may be recommended.
Conditions & official guidance+
- From 11 October 2026, the route is open to eligible Irish public and private enterprises consuming less than 2.8 GWh (10 TJ) a year across heat, electricity and transport. Other scheme conditions still apply.
- Current applicant guidance also requires at least €10,000 annual energy expenditure at the facility, excluding transport. Choose a participating SEAI Registered Energy Auditor before applying.
- The voucher is normally issued before the audit and is redeemed by the auditor. If the audit costs more, the applicant pays the difference.
Funding explained
Routine electrical work
No general grant
There is no general SEAI grant for ordinary rewiring, sockets, testing, fault repair or maintenance. Support applies only when the work forms part of a specific eligible measure and meets that scheme’s rules.
What this means for your project+
- We price routine electrical work separately and do not reduce a quotation by a grant that has not been approved.
- Where an energy, controls, charging or equipment-upgrade scheme could fit, Fennor explains the supported measure, the ordinary work and the required registered delivery roles before you commit.
04 / A CLEAR WAY FORWARD
From a first question.
To an agreed plan.
You do not need every technical answer before you get in touch. The next step is to understand the work and what it involves for your property.
- 01
Tell us about the place.
Share the site, intended work, equipment and the hours or areas that matter to the operation. Available plans and records help us frame the assessment.
- 02
Understand the proposal.
Review the scope, price, exclusions and any decisions still needed. We confirm the appropriate contractor, testing and certification responsibilities before work starts.
- 03
Agree how the work happens.
Confirm access, permissions, planned shutdowns and the site responsibilities. Any change affecting the scope, timing or cost is brought back for agreement.
- 04
Finish with the information.
The agreed handover brings together relevant test and completion records, equipment guidance and follow-up contacts, with outstanding items explained.
05 / USEFUL ANSWERS
A little clarity.
Before you begin.
Practical questions about the work, the people and the process.
01Can work be planned around opening hours?
+
We discuss the areas affected, access windows and any required shutdowns as part of the proposal. Timing and phasing are agreed for the particular site; uninterrupted operation is not assumed.
02What information helps with a fit-out enquiry?
+
The premises location, intended use, available layout, opening hours and planned equipment are useful starting points. Existing drawings or inspection records can help, but you do not need a complete pack to make an enquiry.
03Can you work with our landlord or fit-out team?
+
Yes. Tell us who controls the premises, who approves work and who is managing the wider fit-out. The scope identifies permissions, access arrangements and the interfaces between electrical work and the other trades.
04Will LED lighting automatically reduce costs by a fixed amount?
+
No fixed saving is assumed. Existing wattage, operating hours, controls, required light levels and the proposed fittings all matter. We can discuss a comparison once the current installation and intended use are understood.
05Can you review an existing inspection report?
+
Yes. Start by telling us what the report covers, its date and the work you want to address. The assessment establishes what needs verification and how the remedial proposal relates to the report.
06Can a commercial electrical upgrade receive grant support?
+
Some energy-efficiency projects can. Eligible small businesses may receive LEO support for metering, smart controls and LED lighting within an approved package; SEAI also supports qualifying building-management systems. Routine repairs, testing and ordinary alterations do not have a general grant. Apply before ordering or starting supported work.
07What will we receive at handover?
+
We set out the relevant test and completion records, equipment information, updated identification and operating guidance in the agreed scope. Before work begins, we explain the specialist documents and who is responsible for each part.
