Where ceilings in Galston offices are being replaced anyway, we plan the new LED layout to BS EN 12464-1 rather than simply copying the old positions.

Galston FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Galston?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Galston offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Galston?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards 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 just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
