External and security lighting in Thamesmead
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. For Thamesmead sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.

Thamesmead FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Thamesmead?
Most surveys in Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead?
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Thamesmead?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
