Local emergency lighting testing in Looe

Where Looe buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Our teams travel to Looe from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include Fowey, Liskeard and Lostwithiel, so we can often combine survey visits.

Looe FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Looe?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Looe?
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.
Can you work out of hours in Looe?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Looe offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
