Brighton FAQs
Do you cover all of Brighton?
Yes. We work across Brighton and the BN1, BN3 and BN2 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hove, Portslade and Rottingdean.
Do you remove the old fittings in Brighton?
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 Brighton?
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.
