Local external and security lighting in Byker
Photocell and timer control lets Byker premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
On Byker estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Our teams travel to Byker from across Tyne and Wear. Typical nearby jobs include Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne and Wallsend, so we can often combine survey visits.

Byker FAQs
Who does the work in Byker?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
How quickly can you survey in Byker?
Most surveys in Byker 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Byker?
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.
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.
