Portadown FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Portadown?
Most surveys in Portadown 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.
Do you cover all of Portadown?
Yes. We work across Portadown and the BT62, BT63 and BT64 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Craigavon, Lurgan and Banbridge.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Portadown?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. For new lighting, Technical Booklet F2 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.
