Emergency lighting that works when it's needed
If the power fails, people need to see their way out. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a building must make sure emergency lighting is suitable, maintained and tested.
We design and install new systems, upgrade old fittings to LED, add coverage where your fire risk assessment says it's needed, and carry out the annual three-hour duration test, with a certificate and log book entry every time.
Compliant, tested and easy to maintain
New & upgraded systems
We check coverage along escape routes, stairwells, open areas and high-risk task areas, and fill any gaps.
Annual testing
The three-hour test is done out of hours, so the building isn't left without emergency lighting while batteries recharge.
Self-test fittings
Self-test emergency lights check themselves and flag faults, which makes monthly testing much easier.

Emergency lighting: your questions answered
What Birmingham businesses ask us before booking.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?
A short functional test every month and a full rated-duration test, usually three hours, every year. Both should be recorded in the log book.
Can you upgrade our old fittings?
Yes. We replace old and failed fittings with LED emergency lighting, often with self-test, which saves energy and maintenance.
Do you provide certificates?
Yes. You get a certificate for every installation and annual test, plus an updated log book.
Are you available 24/7?
Calls are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a person. Out of hours, your call goes straight to one of our directors. Out-of-hours work is booked by arrangement rather than as an emergency call-out.
What accreditations do you have?
We're NICEIC approved, SafeContractor accredited, OZEV approved for EV chargers and MCS certified for solar. Every electrician is DBS checked and carries ID.
Will you send risk assessments before you start?
Yes. Full RAMS are provided in advance, and we follow your inductions, permits and site rules.
Are your quotes fixed?
Yes. Once we've agreed the scope, the price is fixed. If anything extra is found, we'll explain and price it before doing it.
Do you only work in Birmingham?
No. We cover Birmingham, the Black Country, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, from our base in Tamworth.
