Bigby FAQs
Do you cover all of Bigby?
Yes. We work across Bigby and the DN38 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Ulceby, Broughton and Caistor.
Can you work out of hours in Bigby?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bigby offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Bigby?
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.
