Emergency lighting installation & testing in Talke
- 01
Who needs emergency lighting
Under fire safety law, the responsible person for most business premises, and for shared parts of buildings such as HMOs and blocks of flats, must make sure people can find their way out if the lights fail. Your fire risk assessment will say where emergency lighting is needed.
- 02
Maintained or non-maintained
Non-maintained emergency lights only come on when the power fails, which suits corridors and stairs. Maintained lights stay on all the time and switch to battery in a power cut, which suits exit signs in places like shops and venues. We fit the right type for each position.

The testing you must keep up
Emergency lighting should have a short function test every month and a full rated-duration test, usually three hours, once a year. Each test is recorded in a log book. We carry out the annual test and certify it, and show you how to do the monthly checks.
What to expect from emergency lighting installation & testing
For a new system, we look at your building and fire risk assessment, then plan fittings along escape routes, at exits and changes of level, and over fire equipment. You get a free quote with the number and type of fittings and any test key switches needed.
For testing, we arrange a time when the building can be without normal lighting for the full test. We check every fitting stays lit for its rated time, replace failed batteries or lamps with your agreement, and give you a certificate and updated log book.

Emergency lighting installation & testing questions
Does my small business in Talke need emergency lighting?
Most business premises need some emergency lighting, but how much depends on the building and how it is used. Your fire risk assessment should set this out. If you do not have one, or it is out of date, you should arrange one, and we can then fit what it recommends.
How often should emergency lighting be tested in Stoke-on-Trent?
The usual standard is a short function test every month and a full rated-duration test once a year, typically three hours. Every test should be recorded in a log book. We carry out annual tests for premises across Stoke-on-Trent and certify the results.
Do HMOs near Kidsgrove need emergency lighting?
Many do, especially larger HMOs with shared escape routes such as stairs and corridors. The local council licensing conditions and the fire risk assessment set out what is needed. We install and test emergency lighting in HMOs and provide the certificates landlords need.
What happens if an emergency light fails its test?
Usually the battery has reached the end of its life, or the lamp or control gear has failed. We note each failure on the report, explain the options and replace the battery or fitting once you agree. The fitting is then retested, so your records show it is working again.
