Ballatar FAQs
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.
Do you cover all of Ballatar?
Yes. We work across Ballatar and the AB35 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Strathdon, Aboyne and Alford.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ballatar?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
