Mechanical, Electrical, Construction & Fit-Out — Bristol, South Wales & UK-Wide
Managing multiple contractors usually means delays, miscommunication, and chasing people who should be chasing you. That’s not how we work.
ETS Group delivers mechanical, electrical, construction, refurbishment, and fit-out services as one coordinated programme — under one contractor, with one point of accountability from your first call to final handover. In-house teams, qualified engineers, and 47 years of doing things properly.
Ready to simplify your next project with a contractor you don’t have to chase?
What We Do — Four Disciplines, One Team
Electrical and mechanical services. Lighting, power, HVAC, ventilation, plumbing, heating, controls, emergency systems. From single-site upgrades to phased multi-site rollouts, we deliver M&E that integrates cleanly into your wider construction or refurbishment programme. NICEIC accredited, with in-house electrical and mechanical engineers who know how to work around live systems. Learn more →
Construction site services. Before a build can begin, the site needs power, water, heating, and welfare. We’ve been delivering site temporaries since 1979 — temporary power distribution, water and waste, heating and lighting, site set-up support. Quick to mobilise, reliable to leave running, easy to take down when the build moves on. Learn more →
Refurbishment and interior fit-out. Offices, retail units, hospitality venues, public sector buildings. We handle layout, finishes, lighting, flooring, M&E integration, and the dozens of small decisions that turn an empty shell into a working space. End-to-end project management means you deal with one team, not a procession of subcontractors. Learn more →
Building maintenance and facilities management. Once the building is operational, keeping it that way is its own discipline. Reactive repairs, planned maintenance programmes, fire alarm testing, PAT testing, CCTV, life safety systems, and the structured care that keeps you compliant without keeping you on the phone.

Specialist Services For Live And Critical Environments
Some projects need more than a general contractor. When you’re closing, relocating, or consolidating a data centre, communication centre, or comms room, decommissioning is a technical discipline — not a strip-out.
Live electrical systems, legacy installations, undocumented changes, network dependencies that cross floors or buildings. Getting it wrong creates risk, delay, and unplanned downtime elsewhere on site. Getting it right takes specialist knowledge, structured sequencing, and a single point of accountability.
ETS Group delivers end-to-end decommissioning across the UK, with in-house electrical and mechanical teams trained for live and critical environments. We support single sites, multi-site programmes, and takeovers where another contractor has stalled.
- Data centre decommissioning — controlled shutdown, electrical isolation, strip-out, and handover
- Comms room decommissioning — structured cabling, containment, legacy IT infrastructure
- Planning a decommissioning project — five questions worth settling before procurement

Why Clients Choose ETS — and Stick With Us
Founded in 1979 by Des Derrick and Dave Cole, ETS Group is family-led and built on the same principle today as it was 47 years ago: do what you say you’ll do, when you say you’ll do it.
The group runs as four limited companies under one operational team — ETS (SW) Ltd, ETS (FM) Ltd, ETS (EPE) Ltd, and ETS Cymru Ltd — covering electrical and mechanical, facilities management, plant and equipment, and Welsh operations. That structure exists for compliance and risk; from your side, you deal with one team, one project lead, and one point of accountability.
Our senior management averages over 20 years at ETS. Our delivery engineers are CSCS-carded, NICEIC-qualified, and trained for live and critical environments. We’re CHAS, Constructionline, SMAS Worksafe, and Alcumus SafeContractor accredited — the credentials are listed below because they should be checkable, not just claimable.
What clients return for: clear communication, no chasing, no surprises, and engineers who treat your project like it’s their own. We’ve been the partner clients come back to for four decades. That’s the version of ETS we’ll show up with for you.

Sectors We Work Across
We’ve delivered projects across commercial, industrial, public sector, hospitality, retail, and leisure — and the value of that breadth is that we don’t have to learn your world from scratch.
Commercial and industrial. Multi-storey offices, industrial units, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities. We understand uptime pressure, scheduled access, and the cost of getting it wrong.
Public sector. Local authorities, education, healthcare, government estates. Compliance, documentation, governance, and the patience to work around term times, occupied buildings, and regulated approval processes.
Hospitality. Restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs. Front-of-house finish standards, back-of-house technical demands, and the seven-day-a-week reality of working around live trading.
Retail and leisure. Single-site refits and national rollout programmes. Brand-consistent fit-outs delivered to the same standard whether it’s one location or one hundred.
If your sector isn’t named here, ask — we’ve probably worked in something close.

Frequently Asked Questions
A multi-discipline contractor handles every trade your project needs — electrical, mechanical, construction, refurbishment, and fit-out — under one team. Instead of you coordinating an electrician, an M&E specialist, a builder, and a fit-out company separately, you get one point of contact, one project plan, and one set of standards across every discipline. It removes the gaps where things usually go wrong.
Yes. We work across commercial and industrial, public sector, hospitality, and retail and leisure. Each sector has its own pressures — uptime in industrial, term-time access in education, brand consistency in retail rollouts, live-trading sensitivity in hospitality. We’ve delivered in all of them, so we don’t have to learn your world from scratch.
