St Andrews FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in St Andrews?
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.
Do you cover all of St Andrews?
Yes. We work across St Andrews and the KY16 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Tayport, Cupar and Anstruther.
Can you work out of hours in St Andrews?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for St Andrews 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.
