Nova Electrical - Lighting and Power Specialists

What Nova Electrical - Lighting and Power Specialists does

Nova Electrical and Mechanical Ltd, trading as Nova Electrical, is a UK electrical contracting firm headquartered in Dinnington, Sheffield. The company delivers electrical installation, maintenance, and project services to commercial, industrial, and hazardous-area (ATEX) environments across the United Kingdom, with a workforce of six employees. Its customer base spans manufacturing, warehousing/logistics, commercial/retail, chemical and petrochemical, fuel storage, defence, and leisure end-markets, with named clients including Labfacility, John Taylor Engineering Services, Ground Control, Vivo Defence Services, Tropical Butterfly House, and Natgraph.

Its core technical capability centres on CompEx-certified hazardous-area electrical work (Ex01–Ex08), supplemented by general electrical installation, LED lighting upgrades, electrical installation condition reporting (EICR), emergency lighting, fire-alarm systems, access control, and EV charger installation. The firm holds NICEIC Approved Contractor status, Constructionline Gold accreditation, and SSIP certification — credentialing that qualifies it to bid on safety-critical and regulated industrial projects where many smaller contractors cannot.

Nova operates a project-based trade-services revenue model: work is scoped via free site surveys that function as lead-generation, executed on a contract basis, and priced per project rather than via recurring subscription. Geographic reach is positioned as nationwide UK despite a single Sheffield base, and the company bundles mechanical-and-electrical packages to broaden scope per engagement versus pure electrical peers.

Core offering

Nova Electrical delivers electrical installation and power solutions for commercial, industrial, and hazardous area (ATEX) environments across the UK from its Sheffield base. Services span LED lighting upgrades, low voltage power distribution, emergency lighting, fire alarms, data cabling, containment, EV charging, and integrated Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) packages. The company supports clients through the full lifecycle from design and specification to installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.

Product overview

Nova Electrical offers a portfolio of electrical services for commercial, industrial, and hazardous area (ATEX) environments, organized around four core service areas: Hazardous Area Electrical Services (ATEX certified lighting, distribution equipment, enclosures, inspections), Lighting Solutions (LED upgrades, emergency lighting, lux level design), Power Solutions (LV infrastructure, transformers, switchboards, distribution), and Mechanical & Electrical Packages (integrated building services combining electrical and mechanical disciplines). The company also provides ancillary services including CCTV installation, containment, electrical design, fault analysis, EV charging, EICR testing, fire alarm systems, power supplies, and free surveys for lighting and LV infrastructure. These services are delivered as professional installation offerings rather than software products, with financing options available for larger projects.

Direct peers

• NG Bailey: UK-based M&E and electrical contracting firm delivering LV distribution, lighting, hazardous-area and integrated building services for commercial and industrial clients — a clear direct comparator to Nova's M&E package model.
• SPIE UK: European technical services group with UK operations covering electrical contracting, LV infrastructure and industrial facility services; comparable multi-site delivery model and customer base to Nova.
• Lorne Stewart: UK M&E services provider offering electrical installation, lighting and building services for commercial and industrial customers; overlaps directly with Nova's core service portfolio and customer segments.
• Imtech UK: UK M&E and building services contractor providing electrical installation, lighting and LV infrastructure for commercial and industrial estates — a comparable integrated services peer to Nova.
• McGowan Electrical Contractors: UK-based commercial and industrial electrical contractor offering LV distribution, lighting, fire alarm and electrical design services — directly comparable in scope and customer type to Nova.

Regional players

• Clarkson Evans: UK electrical contractor primarily focused on residential new-build wiring with growing commercial work; comparable UK trade contractor profile though with a residential-led mix versus Nova's commercial/industrial focus.

Broad incumbents

• Balfour Beatty: Large UK-based infrastructure and construction group with electrical and M&E capabilities serving utilities, industrial and commercial customers; competes with Nova on enterprise M&E tenders but as part of a much wider portfolio.
• Skanska (UK): Major UK construction and infrastructure group whose M&E and building services division competes with Nova for commercial and industrial electrical work, but operates at far greater scale and across broader construction scopes.

Others

• Eaton (UK): Global electrical equipment manufacturer supplying switchgear, power distribution and lighting controls that Nova would specify and install; adjacent as a supplier/ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor.
• Schneider Electric (UK): Global manufacturer of LV distribution equipment, lighting controls and energy-management solutions used in industrial and commercial facilities; an upstream supplier whose products Nova installs and designs around.
