Cumbernauld FAQs
Who does the work in Cumbernauld?
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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Cumbernauld?
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.
Is it worth replacing fluorescent tubes with LED?
Usually, yes. Common T8 fluorescent tubes were caught by GB ecodesign rules from September 2023 and the mercury exemptions for ordinary T5 and T8 lamps ended in February 2024, so replacements are getting harder to source. LED fittings typically use 30–60% less energy for the same light.
