Every enquiry gets a job record
The office logs it in SEG Command the moment it arrives, so you get a reference and a named contact — not a voicemail.
SEG is a commercial electrical contractor with its own engineers, apprentices and vans — and the local electrician St Albans homes call. EICRs, rewires, solar, EV chargers, fire alarms and emergency call-outs, from our head office, SEG House in Chiswell Green, St Albans.
Anyone can say the work was done properly. We can show you: who did it, what they found, every circuit tested and photographed, and the certificate — all stored against the job.

The board before, during and after, with test results recorded for every circuit and checked by a qualified supervisor.

Certificates, photographs and results stay with the job in SEG Command, so a landlord, agent, auditor or insurer can ask for a copy years later.
