Trusted Emergency Lighting Maintenance for Children's Homes

Children and young people may need assistance from staff during an evacuation, particularly at night or in unfamiliar conditions. Reliable emergency lighting helps provide visibility along escape routes and within relevant communal areas when normal lighting fails.

The requirements depend on the building's design, escape arrangements and fire risk assessment. Emergency lighting may be required in areas such as corridors, stairways, communal rooms, entrance areas and escape routes.

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

Yes. We understand the importance of working sensitively within residential care environments. Our engineers aim to minimise disruption and will work professionally around residents and staff while completing the necessary maintenance.

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

We'll explain the issue and provide practical recommendations for remedial action. This helps the responsible person understand what needs to be addressed and supports the process of restoring the system to reliable working order.
