Little Clacton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Little Clacton?
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 Little Clacton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Little Clacton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
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.
