Local emergency lighting installation in Castleton

We often find dark spots in Castleton buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Most Castleton premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

Our teams travel to Castleton from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Yeovil, Mudford and Templecombe, so we can often combine survey visits.

Castleton FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Castleton?

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.

How quickly can you survey in Castleton?

Most surveys in Castleton 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.

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.

How long must emergency lights last?

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
