Wickford FAQs
Do you cover all of Wickford?
Yes. We work across Wickford and the SS12, SS11 and SS13 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Pitsea, Rayleigh and Basildon.
Do you remove the old fittings in Wickford?
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 Wickford?
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.
