Visible routes and traceable test results
Safety points surveyed
We assess exits, escape routes and level changes before planning fitting positions.
Duration tests recorded
We check operation over the required test period and record the outcome.
Failed parts dealt with
Defective batteries and fittings can be quoted for replacement after testing.
Keep escape routes visible if power fails
When the normal lights go out, people still need to see exits, stairs, changes of level and important safety points. We survey the premises and plan emergency fittings around those routes rather than placing them wherever installation happens to be easiest. Maintained emergency lighting remains lit during normal use, while non-maintained fittings operate when the regular supply fails. The suitable arrangement depends on the building, its use and the area being covered. We explain the proposed fitting positions before installation begins.
Test the fittings before they are needed
Our emergency lighting servicing can include functional checks, duration testing and inspection of the fittings and indicators. Where we find failed batteries or defective equipment, we explain what needs replacing and can quote for the work. We also install new systems and test them after completion. Clear records help businesses, landlords and premises managers track test dates, faults and maintenance. A green indicator alone is not a full maintenance plan, however reassuring its little glow may look from the floor.
Frequently asked questions
What is maintained emergency lighting?
Maintained emergency lighting stays illuminated during normal conditions and continues to operate when the regular supply fails. Non-maintained lighting normally remains off until a power failure. We assess where each arrangement may be suitable.
What happens during emergency lighting servicing?
We inspect the equipment and complete appropriate functional or duration tests. We record the results and identify failed batteries, damaged fittings or other defects. Any replacement work can then be explained and quoted separately.
Will emergency lighting tests disrupt the premises?
Testing requires the fittings to operate under simulated loss of normal power, and longer duration checks take time. We discuss site access, occupied areas and the testing plan beforehand so staff or tenants understand what will happen.
