Local external and security lighting in Whitley Bay

Fire exit doors in Whitley Bay buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.

On Whitley Bay estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.

Whitley Bay sits within Tyne and Wear. We work throughout the NE26, NE30 and NE25 postcode districts and surrounding places, including North Shields, Tynemouth and South Shields.

Whitley Bay FAQs

Who does the work in Whitley Bay?

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.

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 Whitley Bay?

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.
