Melton Mowbray FAQs
Do you cover all of Melton Mowbray?
Yes. We work across Melton Mowbray and the LE13 and LE14 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Barkby, Hambleton and Mountsorrel.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Melton Mowbray?
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.
Can you work out of hours in Melton Mowbray?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Melton Mowbray offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
