Cuddesdon FAQs
Do you cover all of Cuddesdon?
Yes. We work across Cuddesdon and the OX44, OX33 and OX4 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Cowley, Holton and Wallingford.
Can you work out of hours in Cuddesdon?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Cuddesdon offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Cuddesdon?
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.
