Gainsborough FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Gainsborough?
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 Gainsborough?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Gainsborough offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you cover all of Gainsborough?
Yes. We work across Gainsborough and the DN21 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Corringham, Everton and Retford.
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.
