Prestwich FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Prestwich?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Prestwich?
Yes. We work across Prestwich and the M25, M45 and M7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Whitefield, Radcliffe and Salford.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Prestwich?
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.
