Cable pulling · UK-wide

Specialist cable pulling, planned and monitored properly.

SWA, LV/HV, fibre and data cables pulled through tray, basket, ladder, ducts and risers — with powered winches, tension monitoring, glanding, termination and full testing. One crew, one method statement, one point of accountability.

What we pull

From single submains to multi-drum HV pulls

Cable pulling packages sized to the job — with the kit, crews and calcs to keep every pull inside cable limits.

SWA & LV power cables

Single- and multi-core SWA and LSF power cables from small submains up to large industrial feeders — glanded, earthed and terminated to BS 7671.

HV cables up to 33 kV

HV cable pulling into new and existing ducts, terminations and jointing coordinated with your ICP/IDNO or in-house HV team.

Fibre & structured data

OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode fibre backbones plus Cat6/Cat6a copper — pulled, blown, terminated and Fluke-tested.

Tension-monitored winch pulls

Powered winches with in-line load cells, dynamometer monitoring and manufacturer-specified lubricant to keep every pull inside cable limits.

Risers, ducts & long runs

Multi-storey riser pulls, long duct runs and hazardous-area routes — with rope rigging, roller trains and permit-to-work procedures.

Out-of-hours & live sites

Night, weekend and phased works on occupied and operational sites — logistics, RAMS and CDM duties handled end-to-end.

Our process

Four stages, zero surprises

From route walk to certified handover — planned, calculated and documented before a drum ever leaves the yard.

  1. 01

    Site survey & route walk

    We walk the cable route, confirm containment capacity, bend radii, pulling points, risers and access, and flag any live-working or permit constraints.

  2. 02

    Method statement & RAMS

    Cable schedule, drum plan, winch positions, tension and sidewall pressure calcs, lubricant selection and a full RAMS pack issued before mobilisation.

  3. 03

    Pull, gland & terminate

    Powered winches with load-cell monitoring, drum jacks, rollers and lubrication. Cables glanded, terminated and labelled to the schedule as we go.

  4. 04

    Test, certify & hand over

    Continuity, insulation resistance and phase-rotation testing. As-built cable schedule, test results and photos issued with the O&M pack.

FAQs

Cable pulling, answered

What cable sizes and types can you pull?

Everything from small submains and control cables up to large multi-core LV feeders and HV cables to 33 kV, plus fibre backbones and structured data cabling. We size winches, rollers and lubrication to the cable manufacturer's maximum pulling tension and sidewall pressure.

Do you work on live and operational sites?

Yes. A large share of our pulls are on occupied warehouses, factories, data centres and offices. We plan around production, offer night and weekend shifts, and provide full RAMS, permits and CDM documentation.

Can you supply the cable, containment and terminations?

Yes — we can price supply-and-install for cable, glands, lugs, tray, basket, ladder and duct, or pull free-issue cable if you already have it on site. Either way you get one accountable contractor from drum to termination.

What testing and paperwork do we get?

Continuity, insulation resistance, polarity and phase-rotation results, plus BS 7671 test certificates where applicable. You'll receive an as-built cable schedule, test sheets, photos and a full O&M pack at handover.

Do you cover the whole UK?

Yes. We mobilise UK-wide for cable pulling packages — from single riser pulls to multi-week industrial installations — with our own vans, winches, drum jacks and rigging kit.

How quickly can you mobilise?

For urgent works we can typically survey within 48 hours and mobilise a crew within 5–10 working days, subject to programme, access and materials lead time.
