Sovereign Street, Leeds City Centre – Outdoor Electrical Installation

Sovereign Street, Leeds City Centre — Outdoor Electrical Installation

Project Overview

Trust Electrical was appointed to carry out a full electrical installation for an outdoor communal area on Sovereign Street in Leeds city centre, directly opposite Asda House. The space provides a dedicated outdoor break area for office workers in the surrounding buildings, and required a complete electrical fit-out to make it functional and welcoming all year round.

The Brief

The outdoor space needed electrical infrastructure installed from scratch to serve as a usable welfare and break area for nearby office staff. Without any existing supply in place, the project required a new consumer unit to provide a dedicated electrical feed, along with lighting and power to make the space practical and inviting — even during shorter winter days.

What We Delivered

As NAPIT approved contractors, our team delivered the full electrical installation including:

New consumer unit — A new consumer unit was installed to provide a safe, dedicated electrical supply for the entire outdoor area. This gives the space its own protected distribution board, designed to handle the demands of outdoor lighting and power safely and in full compliance with BS 7671 regulations.

Festoon lighting — Festoon lighting was installed across the break area, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for staff using the space. Festoon lights are a popular choice for outdoor communal areas, providing effective ambient lighting that makes the space feel welcoming during early mornings, lunch breaks, and darker evenings.

Outdoor power sockets — Weatherproof outdoor sockets were fitted to provide a flexible power supply across the area, supporting maintenance equipment, seasonal additions, and general use as needed.

Testing and certification — On completion, a full electrical safety inspection was carried out to confirm the entire installation met current safety standards and was certified for use.

The Result

Office workers on Sovereign Street now have a fully powered, well-lit outdoor break area right in the heart of Leeds city centre. The festoon lighting transforms the space into a comfortable spot to take a break, whilst the new consumer unit and outdoor sockets provide a safe, compliant electrical foundation for the area going forward.
