Professional Emergency Lighting Maintenance for Care Homes

Residents may require assistance to evacuate, making clear visibility essential for both residents and care staff. Reliable emergency lighting helps illuminate escape routes and communal areas if normal lighting fails.

Depending on the building and its fire risk assessment, emergency lighting may be required in corridors, stairways, communal rooms, entrance areas and other parts of the escape route. The precise requirements will vary according to the premises.

Monthly function tests should be carried out alongside an annual full-duration discharge test lasting three hours. These checks help confirm that the system and its backup batteries remain capable of operating correctly.

Yes. We understand that care homes operate continuously and cannot simply close for maintenance. Our engineers work carefully around residents, staff and visitors, aiming to minimise disruption wherever practical.

Our engineers inspect emergency luminaires, batteries, charging equipment and associated controls, carry out the relevant testing and document the results. Any faults or concerns are clearly reported.

We'll explain the issue clearly and provide practical recommendations for remedial action. This allows the care provider or responsible person to understand the problem and take appropriate steps to restore reliable system performance.
