Livestock & Dairy Infrastructure
Specialist Electrical Installations for Dairy, Livestock and Poultry Operations
Modern livestock and dairy operations rely on dependable electrical systems every day. From milking parlours and poultry units to automated ventilation and feeding systems, electrical failures can quickly impact productivity, animal welfare and compliance. Equinox Contracts provides specialist agricultural electrical services designed specifically for demanding farm environments, with all installations carried out in accordance with BS 7671 Section 705 — Agricultural and Horticultural Premises. Serving farms and agricultural businesses across Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
Why Choose Equinox
Hazardous Area Specialists
We are trained to work in potentially explosive atmospheres (DSEAR/ATEX), ensuring your grain stores and milling facilities meet the highest insurance and safety standards.
Problem Solvers
We specialise in the "difficult" jobs—the ones that require grit, technical expertise, and an understanding of the corrosive, dusty, and high-pressure environments that define Yorkshire farming.
NICEIC Approved Contractor
We hold the industry’s "Gold Standard" accreditation, meaning we are qualified to handle heavy-duty three-phase systems and complex industrial infrastructure.
Technical Excellence
With over 15 years in the electrical trade, we’ve built Equinox to be the definitive engineering partner for the rural North.
Agricultural Electrical Specialists
Raised on the working form and experienced in agricultural environments, Equinox Contracts understands the pressures farmers face. When systems stop working, the business stops. That is why every installation is planned with reliability, safety and long-term performance in mind.

Built for Harsh Agricultural Conditions
Agricultural buildings create challenging electrical environments. Damp conditions, ammonia, dust and heavy-duty equipment all place additional strain on systems and components. Equinox Contracts installs electrical systems designed to withstand demanding operating conditions while supporting safe day-to-day operations.
A Turnkey Approach
We know farmers do not want to manage multiple contractors for one project. Equinox Contracts can coordinate projects from initial planning through to installation, testing and final sign-off. Where additional access equipment, trenching or supporting trades are required, we help coordinate the full process to keep projects moving efficiently.
