If fittings in your Scarborough premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Annual emergency lighting tests in Scarborough are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
For Scarborough premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Scarborough FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Scarborough?
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.
Do you cover all of Scarborough?
Yes. We work across Scarborough and the YO12, YO11 and YO13 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stainton Dale, Muston and Snainton.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
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.
