Rules that apply in Edinburgh
Emergency lighting in Edinburgh falls under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The responsible person must make sure people can see their way out if the power fails, and keep records of testing.
In Edinburgh, new and replacement lighting is judged against Section 6 of the Scottish building standards, so we choose fittings with efficacy to spare and keep the evidence on file.
Edinburgh FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Edinburgh?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you remove the old fittings in Edinburgh?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Edinburgh?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Edinburgh offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
