Navigating the Dark with Confidence
When the power fails, emergency lighting keeps escape routes and exits visible. Where your fire risk assessment requires emergency lighting, fire safety legislation requires it to be maintained in working order.
We help you meet BS 5266-1 by managing your testing schedule, carrying out discharge tests, and replacing failing components before they compromise safety.
Sites We Support
Communal Residential Areas
Stairwells, hallways, and lobbies in purpose-built flats and converted blocks.
Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)
Ensuring escape routes in complex multi-tenant properties remain fully illuminated.
Commercial and Retail Spaces
Offices, shops, and warehouses where safe evacuation of staff and the public is paramount.
Routine Testing Requirements Explained
Backup batteries must hold enough charge to keep escape routes lit. A compliant regime includes two professional tests:
The Annual Full-Duration Test
We isolate the lighting circuit and check that every emergency luminaire stays lit for its full rated duration, commonly one or three hours depending on the premises and the system.
Monthly Routine Checks
Usually done by the building's responsible person with a test key. We offer managed monthly flick-tests for unstaffed communal blocks and remote HMOs.
How the Visit Works
Survey and Schedule
We check the emergency fittings, exit signs and test switches, and agree a testing schedule for the site.
Discharge Test
Every fitting is tested for its full rated duration, at a time agreed with you.
Failing Fittings
Any failed batteries or fittings are listed with a quote, and replaced so escape routes stay lit.
Logbook and Certificate
Results are recorded in your logbook and you receive a digital certificate.
Adrian replied promptly and offered a very reasonable price. Lam, the electrician, finished the job quickly with excellent workmanship.
“They were professional, punctual and efficient. They were able to attend my property to provide a quote at extremely short notice and, better yet, were able to complete the job the following day having provided the quote.”
“Communication has always been superb. Adrian and Lam are a great team and a pleasure to work with! Their prices are competitive, they work efficiently, professionally, and with a passion for their trade.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t see your question? Call 07925 063137 for a direct answer.
What happens if a light fails the duration test?
The battery or fitting has likely reached the end of its life. We record it on your digital certificates and reports and quote for a replacement.
Can you install emergency lighting?
Yes. If your fire risk assessment calls for more emergency lighting, our NICEIC Approved team can design and install compliant fittings.
Can testing be done alongside my EICR?
Yes. Where the schedules allow, we can carry out your EICR, fire alarm and emergency lighting testing on the same visit.
