Local external and security lighting in Wilden

Fire exit doors in Wilden buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.

Photocell and timer control lets Wilden premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.

For Wilden premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Wilden FAQs

Do you remove the old fittings in Wilden?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Wilden?

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.

Can you work out of hours in Wilden?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Wilden offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Should external lights be on all night?

Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
