Local emergency lighting testing in Allendale
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Allendale buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Where Allendale buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Allendale is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district NE47. We regularly work across Northumberland, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Allendale FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Allendale?
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 Allendale?
Yes. We work across Allendale and the NE47 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Hexham, Haltwhistle and Corbridge.
Do you remove the old fittings in Allendale?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
