Arniston FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Arniston?
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 cover all of Arniston?
Yes. We work across Arniston and the EH23, EH22 and EH19 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Bonnyrigg, Rosewell and Dalkeith.
How quickly can you survey in Arniston?
Most surveys in Arniston can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Can you reuse our existing columns?
Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
