Local external and security lighting in Trimdon
On Trimdon estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Fire exit doors in Trimdon buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
We cover the whole of Trimdon, including the TS29, TS28 and DH6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hutton Henry, Shadforth and Peterlee.

Trimdon 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 Trimdon?
Yes. We work across Trimdon and the TS29, TS28 and DH6 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hutton Henry, Shadforth and Peterlee.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Trimdon?
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 lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
