Local external and security lighting in Capel

Photocell and timer control lets Capel premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.

For Capel sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.

Capel is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts RH5, RH4 and RH3. We regularly work across Surrey, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Capel FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Capel?

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.

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.

Do you cover all of Capel?

Yes. We work across Capel and the RH5, RH4 and RH3 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Dorking, Brockham and East Horsley.

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.
