Fully CertifiedOff-Grid SpecialistsRemote & Rural UK

One contractor for everything — from system design to final certification. Off-grid, generators and the general electrical work around it.

What We Do

Specialist off-grid services.

Remote and rural properties need a different approach to energy. We design and install systems that work reliably without grid dependency — and keep them running for years.

Who we work with

Built for remote and rural sites.

Estates & Farms

Reliable generation, backup power, servicing and remote-site electrical infrastructure — scheduled around a working operation.

02

Remote Properties

Independent power where the grid supply is limited, unreliable or absent entirely — designed to look after itself between visits.

03

Rural Businesses

Three-phase generation, backup systems and the electrical infrastructure to run real machinery in places the mains never reached.

04

Remote Commercial Sites

Workshops, yards and industrial sites where downtime is expensive and an engineer isn't a short drive away.

05

Islands

Generator, battery and hybrid systems for island properties — planned around ferries and weather, not left to an emergency call-out.

How It Works

From first call to switch-on.

No mystery, no run-around. Here's exactly what happens when you get in touch.

STEP 01

Tell us about your site

Call, email or use the form. Describe the property, your current power situation and what you want to achieve. We can often give a ballpark on that first conversation.

STEP 02

Site survey

For most projects we visit the site — remote locations included. We assess loads, location, access and what the system genuinely needs to cope with.

STEP 03

Design & fixed quote

A clear, itemised quote for a system designed around your property and usage — not a generic kit. No obligation, no pressure.

STEP 04

Install, certify, support

We install, commission and hand over with full certification and a written handover pack — the documentation insurers and sign-off actually need. Ongoing servicing available.

Not sure where to start? Call +44 7356 289964 — we'll be straight with you about what makes sense for your site.

Why Usherwood Mechanical & Electrical

Built for remote.

Off-grid work in remote locations demands a different standard — reliable systems, proper certification, and an engineer who understands what's at stake when there's no grid to fall back on.

01

Certified & Compliant

All work is commissioned under load and handed over with full certification and a written pack. You get the paperwork, the sign-off and the peace of mind — whether it's for insurance, a planning condition or a commercial handover.

02

Off-Grid Specialists

We don't do token off-grid jobs. We've designed and installed complete off-grid systems, wired remote properties with no grid connection, and commissioned primary generators for sites that depend on them entirely.

03

Happy to Travel

Remote locations are exactly the kind of work we're here for. We'll travel for the right project — give us a call and we'll have a straight conversation about whether it makes sense.

FAQ

Common questions.

Straight answers before you get in touch.

Will you travel to the Highlands and islands?
Yes — remote Highland properties, the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland and other island and rural sites are exactly the kind of work we take on. Off-grid installs and generator projects are worth a conversation wherever they are. Call us and we'll be straight with you about whether it works.
Can you supply the generator as well as install it?
Yes. We can supply, install and commission generators, or install equipment you've already sourced. Either way it gets done properly and certified.
Is the work certified?
Yes. Every installation is commissioned under load and handed over with full certification and a written handover pack — the documentation insurers and sign-off actually ask for. You get the paperwork, not just a working set.
Do you offer ongoing servicing and maintenance?
Yes. Remote generators in particular need regular attention to stay reliable. We're happy to discuss ongoing service arrangements — especially important when you're depending on the system entirely.
Can one contractor handle the whole job?
Yes — that's the point. We design and install the off-grid or generator system and we're fully qualified for the general electrical work around it: distribution boards, wiring, lighting, three-phase supplies. One contractor, one certificate, one person responsible.
