Watford FAQs

How quickly can you survey in Watford?

Most surveys in Watford 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.

Do you cover all of Watford?

Yes. We work across Watford and the WD17, WD1 and WD18 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Bushey, North Watford and Abbots Langley.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Watford?

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.

Can lighting help our CCTV?

Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
