Where Balsham buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Balsham FAQs
Do you cover all of Balsham?
Yes. We work across Balsham and the CB21 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Fulbourn, Haverhill and Little Shelford.
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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Balsham?
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.
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.
