HV Jointing Services

We carry out HV cable jointing on 11kV and 33kV circuits, supporting both planned installation programmes and urgent repair works. Our work is delivered to manufacturer procedures and aligned to site requirements, permits, outages and programme constraints.

  • 11kV cable jointing — straight joints and transitional joints for distribution networks, renewables and private networks
  • 33kV cable jointing — for renewables, infrastructure and primary network connections
  • HV cable terminations — indoor and outdoor into switchgear, transformers, RMUs and transition points
  • Fault repairs — failed joint replacement and reinstatement works with practical site coordination
  • Emergency and out-of-hours response — available by agreement

Cable Types We Work With

We have experience across all common HV cable types encountered on UK distribution and private networks:

  • XLPE insulated cables — single and three core, 11kV and 33kV
  • PILC (paper insulated lead covered) cables on older networks
  • Waveform cables and specialist constructions
  • Transition joints between XLPE and PILC cable systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you cover?
Based in the South East (Kent), we work nationwide across the UK. We regularly support projects across Essex, London, Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, and travel further for larger projects.
What voltages can you work with?
LV, 11kV and 33kV. Our SAP authorisations cover up to 33kV for switching, permits and live working supervision.
What types of cable do you joint?
PILC, XLPE, Waveform and other common LV/HV cable types. If you're unsure whether we can handle your cable type, just ask.
Can you handle full substation installations?
Yes. We handle everything from landing, earthing and fit-out through to testing, commissioning, DNO audit attendance and taking control of the LV network on connection day on behalf of the IDNO.
What's the difference between a jointer and a SAP?
A jointer physically installs and connects cables. A Senior Authorised Person (SAP) issues permits and ensures the system is safe to work on. We provide both in-house.
Can you supply materials or work labour-only?
Both. We're happy to supply jointing kits and accessories, or to work with your own supplied materials — whatever suits the job.
