Billingham FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Billingham?
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 Billingham?
Yes. We work across Billingham and the TS20, TS23 and TS2 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stockton-on-Tees, Trindon and Middlesbrough.
Can you work out of hours in Billingham?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Billingham 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.
