Portishead FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Portishead?
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 Portishead?
Yes. We work across Portishead and the BS20, BS48 and BS11 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Nailsea, Clevedon and Long Ashton.
How quickly can you survey in Portishead?
Most surveys in Portishead 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.
