Electrical Placement
As part of our Social Value commitment with Barking & Dagenham, we recently organised a one-week electrical placement to help Ben, a 19-year-old resident, gain first-hand experience on site. It involved shadowing experienced engineers carrying out testing appointments within residential properties.
At Niblock Electrical, we are committed to helping young people advance their careers and we are very grateful for the exceptional feedback from Ben regarding his placement!
“It was amazing, on a scale of 10, it was an easy 10. I enjoy electrical work, but the environment I was in made it so much better. It’s helped me feel a lot more confident with my work and my own way of thinking. I feel a lot more competent to work alone without supervision in some areas.
I was taught plenty of new skills, like order of testing and how to fill our Domestic certificates. I was shown how to tackle obstacles and was given good advice on how to keep things to standard. It was great in every department.”
We were delighted that the placement had such a profound impact on Ben and look forward to hearing about his next steps in the industry!

A Day in the Life of our Electricians
Over the last few weeks, and as part of their training, some of our head office-based team members shadowed our qualified electricians onsite to help them better understand the procedures involved in our EICR Electrical Testing Contracts. The experience provided the team with valuable insights into the procedures and a clearer understanding of safety compliance. This will help the administrative team when advising residents on the protocols involved during visits and of the importance of industry regulations

Divisional Manager Celebrates 10 Years
Celebrating 10 Years at NES
“Having been with Niblock Electrical since inception, I have overseen and been part of much positive change within the business, including growth of the team, Head Office relocation, employee development/progression and the organic growth of the business. However, the one constant that has always remained throughout the last ten years is our ethos of delivering quality and value. This is proven through our long-standing relationships with Clients.
I am personally proud to have grown with Niblock Electrical Services. I enjoy learning and strive for personal development as much as possible. I have gained a wealth of experience working on many various projects/contracts. Working closely with Kevin and Martin, the Directors of Niblock, I have developed my commercial knowledge and understanding. I am passionate about the recruitment and development of the next generation of electrical engineers and we now take on two apprentices a year on our training scheme.
With the progression of new technologies and carbon reduction net zero targets, we have branched into different sectors such as Solar PV, Electric Heating, EV Charging and smart home automation. I am excited about the future of the industry and look forward to helping take Niblock Electrical Services there in the future.”

NES Electrical Safety Awareness Week
🌟 Introducing NES Electrical Safety Awareness Week! 🌟
As part of our continued commitment to safety and social value work in local communities, we are proud to launch a new annual campaign focused on electrical safety and reinforcing to residents the importance of maintaining and testing domestic smoke, heat and carbon alarms systems. We cover all areas from installation, commissioning, testing and certification.
During NES Electrical Safety Awareness Week 2023, we hosted a series of tool box talks with all our engineers across the course of the week. The talks covered how our engineers can better communicate to residents the importance of regularly testing the life saving equipment within their properties as they provide vital early warnings in case of a fire.
