Gelligaer FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Gelligaer?

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Who does the work in Gelligaer?

Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.

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.
