Bexley FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Bexley?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bexley offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Bexley?

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 Bexley?

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 we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
