Service

ServiceWe provide a professional service that we are proud of, making commitments we deliver. Our electricians and engineers will give you the quality workmanship you expect. Our procedures are accredited to ISO 9001 and we are proud of the award winning service we deliver.

Efficiency

EfficiencyWe avoid wasting money, time and resources by using long lasting materials and reliable techniques. SSE Contracting prevent and reduce waste at source through the efficient use of raw materials, energy and water.


Our procurement process duly reflects this and we consult with our carefully selected supply chain to benefit from their knowledge and experience. We recycle electrical equipment within and outside the WEEE directive, and continually strive to identify other waste streams that can be recycled to the same exacting standards.

Sustainability

SustainabilityOur duty to care for and protect the environment begins before we start any job or plan any project. As part of our stringent risk assessment procedures we identify environmental impacts of our operations and either remove hazards, or put control measures in place to minimise any environmental impact.


Our fully developed Environmental Management System is demonstrated by our accreditation to ISO14001.

 

Energy Efficiency is top of our agenda and we safeguard our surroundings by operating ethically and by maintaining control of environmental impacts. Our drive for continuous improvement and strategic approach to carbon management makes it possible for us to introduce new services to help reduce your energy consumption.
