A bespoke solution for Baba - GymTro Personal Training

When Gymtro turned a floor of a St Albans office block into their flagship gym, the weight training area needed something no lighting catalogue could give them. The final design was geometric LED profiles, fabricated and fitted on site. Made perfectly to sit on their stunning black ceiling like art.

The rest of the build matched it: studio-by-studio circuits, full equipment power, and lighting that makes a first-floor gym impossible to miss from the street.

Lighting is the detail that separates a good garden from an unforgettable one. 🌿

We work alongside landscape designers and garden architects at every stage — from early scheme consultation through to final commissioning — to make sure the lighting does justice to the design.

We're delighted to share images from one of these projects, where the lighting suits the mood of the space.

If you're working on a project where the lighting needs the same level of thought as everything else, we'd love to be involved early.

📩 Get in touch to discuss your next scheme.

We're hiring - We're looking for a fabulous Qualified Electrician to join our great team.

We've been running since 2013, based in Harpenden. Our work takes us across Hertfordshire and North London — high-end residential properties, listed buildings, garden lighting installations, hotels and luxury refurbishments.

It's not your average domestic work, and we don't run it like an average electrical company.

If you're someone who cares about how a job looks when it's finished — not just that it functions — you'll fit in well here.

What the role looks like day to day
You'll work as a two-person team with a trainee, with a technical supervisor, operations manager and the company owner around you. Materials are pre-ordered and ready to collect each morning — no wholesaler runs, no waiting around. Scheduling, job info and certification all go through our CRM. Test certs are done on a laptop and sent straight to the office. The admin side is taken care of so you can focus on the work.

The work itself is a mix of garden lighting installations, domestic rewires, upgrades, fault finding and commercial maintenance — mostly across prestige homes, listed buildings, hotels and estates.

What we're looking for
— 4+ years on domestic or residential sites
— AM2 and 18th Edition qualified
— Clean UK driving licence
— Own hand and power tools
— Someone who takes care over their work and is easy to communicate with

Experience with garden or external lighting is a bonus, but we won't rule anyone out for not having it.

What we offer
— £38,000–£45,000 depending on experience
— Company van, fuel card and tablet
— 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, increasing by a day each year up to 30
— Your birthday off if it falls on a weekday
— Regular bonus scheme and overtime if you want it
— Company pension and referral scheme
— Team socials through the year

Training
We run the KG Academy every six weeks — a session for the whole team covering new products, techniques and practical problem-solving. We support relevant external CPD too.

If you're after something stable, with work you can actually be proud of, we'd love to hear from you.

Drop us a message here or send your CV to [email protected] and we'll come back to you.

Does your home need rewiring? Here are a few things worth checking. 👇

If your property was built before 1980, there's a good chance the electrics were designed for a very different way of living — a couple of sockets per room, no high-powered appliances, no constant device charging.

A few signs that your installation might be struggling:
🔌 You're relying on extension leads everywhere
💡 Lights flicker when the kettle or shower kicks in
⚡ Sockets buzz, spark, or feel warm to the touch
🔁 The same circuit keeps tripping
🔲 You've still got an old fuse box rather than a modern consumer unit

Whilst none of these are automatically an emergency —they're all worth taking seriously (especially when you consider that the average life of an electrical installation is around 50 years)

We've put together a full guide on what to look out for and when a rewire makes sense.

🔗https://kgelectricalcontractors.co.uk/how-to-tell-if-your-house-needs-rewiring/

As always, if you're unsure about anything, we're happy to chat it through.

📞 01727 741 993 | [email protected]

If your house wiring is over 40 to 50 years old, has been repeatedly altered over time, or no longer safely supports modern electrical demand, your property may need rewiring. Learn the warning signs, why older UK homes often require rewires and how an EICR helps assess electrical safety.

Happy World Bee Day 🐝

On site today at one of our favourite outdoor projects — the kind of garden that stops you in your tracks.

With it being World Bee Day, it was hard not to notice the planting. Swathes of flowering borders, hedgerows, the sort of biodiversity that creates impact and style. The bees were absolutely loving it and so were we.

It's a good reminder of why it matters. Properties like this aren't just beautiful — they're doing something. The planting is working hard, and everything else follows from it.

It feeds into how we think about lighting schemes on sites like these too. You're working around something that's alive and functioning. Warm white over cool, downlighting over flood, keeping spillage off the beds. The lighting should enhance and serve the garden — not fight it.

What a stunning way to spend a Wednesday.

With the Bank Holiday ahead, we couldn’t resist sharing this beautiful outdoor space—perfect for long evenings and slow weekends.

The best lit part of a garden is often where you gather, unwind, and enjoy the moment. Thoughtful lighting makes those spaces linger long after daylight fades.

Get in touch to discuss how to light your garden – it’s not just about brightness, it’s about how it feels.
