Making Good & Building Reinstatement After Electrical Works

Making good is the final stage of any electrical installation — and the stage most often left to the client to coordinate separately. Pro Energise delivers making good as an integrated part of every electrical project, eliminating the need for a second contractor and the coordination overhead that comes with it.

Our making good scope includes plastering and patching where cables have been chased into walls, decoration and paint matching to restore surfaces to their pre-works condition, ceiling tile replacement, minor carpentry, and floor covering reinstatement. We carry out this work immediately following electrical installation, not as a separate mobilisation.

Our making good scope includes fire stopping as standard where electrical works penetrate fire-rated construction. All fire stopping is installed by trained operatives using manufacturer-approved systems and is photographed and documented for fire safety compliance records. This elevates making good from cosmetic reinstatement to a compliance-critical deliverable.

Standard making good scope includes: plastering and patching, decoration to matched finishes, ceiling tile replacement, minor carpentry, floor covering reinstatement, containment boxing, and fire stopping. Any additional or excluded works are identified during the pre-start survey and costed transparently before works commence.

For occupied commercial buildings, we specify decoration to RAL or manufacturer colour references matched to existing finishes. Test patches are applied on visible surfaces before full decoration to confirm the match. This is particularly important for hospitality and corporate environments where visible mismatch between original decoration and reinstatement is unacceptable.

For commercial and public sector clients, this means one contract, one programme, and one point of accountability for the complete scope from electrical works through to building reinstatement. There is no gap between trades, no separate procurement process, and no risk of delay waiting for a finishing contractor.

All making good works are photographed before and after, with evidence included in the digital handover pack. Quality is governed by the same QA framework that applies to our electrical works — structured inspection, defect logging, and sign-off before handover.

Making good is delivered as an integrated part of our Electrical Installation, Compliance Upgrades, and Emergency Lighting services — ensuring one contract, one programme, and one point of accountability from first fix through to final finish.
