Bishop Auckland FAQs
Do you cover all of Bishop Auckland?
Yes. We work across Bishop Auckland and the DL14, DL4 and DL16 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Lcp Stanhope and Wolsingham Parishes And, Shildon and Spennymoor.
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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Bishop Auckland?
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.
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.
