Local external and security lighting in Fordham
Photocell and timer control lets Fordham premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
On Fordham estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Our teams travel to Fordham from across Essex. Typical nearby jobs include Bures Hamlet, Colchester and Layer Breton, so we can often combine survey visits.

Fordham FAQs
Do you cover all of Fordham?
Yes. We work across Fordham and the CO6, CO8 and CO3 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Bures Hamlet, Colchester and Layer Breton.
How quickly can you survey in Fordham?
Most surveys in Fordham 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Fordham?
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.
