Gateshead FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Gateshead?
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 Gateshead?
Yes. We work across Gateshead and the NE8, NE99 and NE1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Byker.
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.
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.
