External and security lighting in Birmingham
Wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Available across Birmingham and the West Midlands. For Birmingham sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Local external and security lighting in Birmingham
Many Birmingham businesses combine external lighting with car park and yard upgrades in a single visit.
Fire exit doors in Birmingham buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
Our teams travel to Birmingham from across the West Midlands. Typical nearby jobs include Aston, Smethwick and Washwood Heath, so we can often combine survey visits.

Birmingham FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Birmingham?
Most surveys in Birmingham 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 Birmingham?
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.
Who does the work in Birmingham?
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.
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.
