External and security lighting in Margate
Wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Photocell and timer control lets Margate premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.

For Margate premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Margate FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Margate?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Margate?
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.
