Local external and security lighting in Chard
For Chard sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
On Chard estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
For Chard premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Chard FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Chard?
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.
How quickly can you survey in Chard?
Most surveys in Chard 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 remove the old fittings in Chard?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
