Emergency lighting is a legal requirement for most commercial buildings, HMOs, schools, care homes, and any premises where loss of normal lighting would present a safety risk. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that escape routes be adequately lit at all times, including during a mains power failure. Our emergency lighting installation in Lancashire ensures you meet these obligations with reliable, well-positioned systems.
We install maintained and non-maintained emergency luminaires, exit signs, bulkhead lights, and central battery systems depending on your building size and category of system required. All fittings include battery backup with a minimum 3-hour duration, self-testing capability where specified, and clear illumination of escape routes, stairways, changes of direction, and final exits.
For businesses in Leyland, we offer a complete service from initial design and lux level calculations to installation, commissioning, and ongoing annual testing. Our testing service includes full duration discharge tests, battery condition checks, lamp replacements, and a detailed log book to demonstrate compliance to fire officers and insurance assessors.
