YOUR PROPERTY
The Woodlands is a managed office park in Woodmead with several buildings and landscaped grounds.
CHOOSE THE WORK YOU NEED
Computers, network cabinets and access systems may be maintained by different suppliers. List the equipment, existing UPS units and boards serving the workspace. Ask the building contact what is already installed, then request a quote that distinguishes electrical protection from IT repairs or backup-power capacity.

FROM CONCERN TO A CLEAR QUOTE
Explain whether equipment has failed, the installation has changed or you want preventive protection. Wesslink can discuss the assessment and identify the work to quote.
Discuss your property ↗KNOW WHAT IS INCLUDED
Devices, board work and any necessary repairs affect the price. Compare quotations for the same installation and equipment. The cost guide explains what to ask before booking.
Read the installation cost guide ↗Send the address, equipment concerns and available installation records. Confirm the assessment arrangements and proposed work with Wesslink.
Request your quotation ↗UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
A surge protective device limits transient overvoltage and diverts surge energy. It helps reduce risk; it does not make equipment immune to every event or voltage disturbance.
SPDs are selected and coordinated for the supply, earthing, exposure, boards and equipment. Different Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 roles may be relevant.
A structural lightning-protection system has a different role. Direct strikes, induced lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients must not be treated as one diagnosis.
A surge should not be diagnosed remotely. Transformers and network switching can create transient conditions, but protection cannot be promised against every voltage disturbance.
There is no universal number of surge protectors for every property. Map the incoming supply, earthing and exposure; trace main and downstream boards, cable distances and critical loads; include relevant power, data and control lines; then coordinate the selected device roles.


Manufacturer guidance should be applied to the specific installation.
CHECK BEFORE YOU NEED TO CLAIM
Your insurer’s requirements matter. Check your current policy schedule, surge-cover benefits, limits, excesses, exclusions and any protection requirements with your insurer or broker.
Installing an SPD does not automatically secure a payout. Equally, the absence of a particular device does not establish automatic rejection under every policy. Claim treatment also depends on the actual cause.
Keep incident photographs, equipment details, installation records, assessments and repair evidence. Record previous damage as evidence rather than assuming a cause.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BOOK
Practical answers for the equipment and work you are considering.
Ask Wesslink: 072 271 7111 ↗Provide the model and installation details so its features can be considered. Backup power and surge protection have different jobs, and a UPS does not describe the protection of the whole office installation.
Include its findings and equipment requirements where available. If the proposed work concerns network or control connections as well as the electrical supply, Wesslink can discuss which tasks need coordination with the responsible specialist.
No. Policy treatment depends on the insurer, plan, schedule, limits, excesses, optional benefits, exclusions and actual cause. Check current policy wording and preserve incident, installation and repair evidence.
Contact Wesslink Electrical on 072 271 7111 to arrange an assessment of your electrical installation and discuss suitable surge protection.
