LadbrokesWoking.DeliveredLive.
When Woodhouse Contracts brought Nexgen in for Ladbrokes' Woking flagship, the brief was unambiguous: FTSE100 specification, zero customer disruption, 10-week delivery. Nexgen said yes — and delivered exactly that across two concurrent wings of a live retail betting shop.
The Woking fit-out is a full Cat B electrical installation across 12,000 sq ft of retail betting space — north and south wings progressing simultaneously on independent programme tracks, with every phase of work scheduled around the shop's trading hours to ensure not a single customer interaction was lost.
Nexgen's installation team worked in close coordination with Woodhouse Contracts throughout, from pre-construction planning to final BS 7671 sign-off — delivering a complete electrical installation that met Entain plc's exacting standards for their FTSE100-listed retail estate.
01
FTSE100 Specification
Every installation met the exacting electrical standards required for a listed-company retail estate — from the 400A TPN main board through to final fix and certification.
02
Two-Wing Phasing
North and south wings progressed simultaneously with independent programme tracks — no cross-dependency delays, maximum installation velocity.
03
Live Retail Environment
Work executed during off-peak hours to maintain customer operations throughout the full 10-week programme — zero trading disruption.
04
Programme Certainty
Daily coordination with Woodhouse Contracts ensured every trade handover landed on schedule, with no programme-critical incidents across the full duration.
Woodhouse Brought Nexgen In for a Reason
Woodhouse Contracts had seen Nexgen deliver on complex commercial fit-outs before. When Entain plc — Ladbrokes Coral's parent group — needed a reliable electrical subcontractor for their Woking flagship, Woodhouse didn't hesitate. The brief was clear: FTSE100 standards, no retail disruption, 10-week delivery. Nexgen said yes.
Scope of Work
Precision Engineering, Comprehensive Delivery.
Every project demands a tailored approach. Our scope encompasses the full spectrum of electrical infrastructure — from initial assessment through final commissioning — ensuring seamless integration and long-term reliability.
400A TPN Distribution Board
Main 400A TPN distribution board installation — serving both wings from a consolidated intake point, with metering and protection to Entain specification.
First Fix Wiring
Full first-fix wiring across both north and south wings, with containment and cabling routed through ceiling voids ahead of follow-on trades.
Consumer Unit Installation
Consumer unit installation across both wings, circuit-tested and certified to BS 7671 — providing independent protection and load management for each zone.
LED Lighting — Trading Floor & BOH
LED lighting design and installation across the full trading floor and back-of-house areas, meeting Ladbrokes' brand specification and CIBSE lux level guidance.
Emergency Lighting
Full emergency lighting system installation — maintained fittings at all escape routes, exits, and risk areas — installed and commissioned to BS 5266.
Cable Containment & Tray Routing
Cable containment and tray routing through ceiling voids across both wings, co-ordinated with structural and fit-out trades to maintain programme sequence.
Second Fix & Final Connection
Complete second-fix including socket outlets, accessories, EPOS power provisions, self-service terminal supplies, and final connections throughout both wings.
Testing, Commissioning & Certification
Full NICEIC-compliant circuit testing, BS 7671 certification, snagging, and formal handover to Woodhouse Contracts at practical completion.
Betting Shops Don't Close for Electrical Works
Every phase of this project happened while Ladbrokes served customers. That meant no noisy containment work during peak hours, no ceiling access above active trading areas, and no disruption to the EPOS and self-service systems running 12 hours a day. Nexgen's team planned around the retail schedule — early starts, late finishes, and a daily sync with Woodhouse to keep the programme intact.
Engineering Excellence
Meeting Every Challenge Head On.
Complex electrical projects rarely follow a straight line. Our engineers thrive in high-constraint environments — designing solutions that protect operations, meet deadlines, and stand the test of time.
The Challenge
Running two concurrent wing programmes inside a live retail betting shop — where any disruption to trading meant direct revenue loss for the client — demanded exceptional coordination, off-peak scheduling, and a phased approach that maintained operational continuity at every stage. The FTSE100 specification from Entain plc left no room for non-compliant workmanship or programme overruns.
Our Solution
Nexgen implemented a wing-by-wing phasing strategy with dedicated teams on each zone. Daily programme huddles with Woodhouse Contracts kept every trade sequenced correctly, and all high-impact work — distribution board energisation, ceiling void access, floor-level containment — was scheduled outside customer-facing hours. Pre-construction planning locked in access windows before mobilisation, eliminating surprises during the live programme.
