Lower Earley FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Lower Earley?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L 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 Lower Earley?
Yes. We work across Lower Earley and the RG6, RG2 and RG5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Woodley, Reading and Wokingham.
Do you remove the old fittings in Lower Earley?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
