Local external and security lighting in Carshalton
Fire exit doors in Carshalton buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
On Carshalton estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
We cover the whole of Carshalton, including the SM5, SM1 and SM6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Wallington, Sutton and Mitcham.

Carshalton FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Carshalton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Carshalton offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Carshalton?
Most surveys in Carshalton 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 Carshalton?
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.
