Herne Bay FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Herne Bay?
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 cover all of Herne Bay?
Yes. We work across Herne Bay and the CT6 and CT5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Whitstable, Canterbury and Birchington.
Do you remove the old fittings in Herne Bay?
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.
