Merthyr Tydfil FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Merthyr Tydfil?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Who does the work in Merthyr Tydfil?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
How quickly can you survey in Merthyr Tydfil?
Most surveys in Merthyr Tydfil can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
