Hungerford is well known for its historic High Street, which features a mixture of independent retailers, antique centres, cafés and traditional commercial premises. Many of these buildings occupy older properties with unique layouts and access arrangements, making reliable emergency lighting an important consideration for occupant safety and evacuation planning.
The town's position alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal contributes to a varied local environment that includes hospitality venues, community facilities and visitor-focused businesses. Buildings that welcome members of the public throughout the day often require dependable emergency lighting systems to support safe movement should normal lighting fail.
Beyond the town centre, areas such as Eddington and the surrounding residential neighbourhoods contain schools, healthcare facilities, community buildings and housing developments that serve the local population. Together, these properties create a diverse building stock where ongoing emergency lighting maintenance helps support safe and compliant environments.

BS 5266 recommends monthly function testing and annual full-duration discharge testing. Routine inspections help verify that emergency lighting components continue to operate correctly.

Any issues discovered will be documented and explained clearly, together with recommendations to help restore system performance and maintain compliance.
3. What does Safe I.S. include in maintenance?
Our comprehensive service involves testing luminaires, batteries, controls, and conducting full power-down simulations to examine system reliability.
4. Is it a legal requirement to maintain my emergency lighting system?
Where emergency lighting has been installed and deemed necessary, legislation requires it to be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair. Failure to do so may constitute a breach of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
5. How long does an emergency lighting maintenance test take?
Annual full-duration testing requires emergency lighting systems to operate on battery power for three hours in accordance with BS 5266 recommendations. Including setup, inspection and reporting, testing generally takes a minimum of around three and a half hours, although larger premises may require additional time.
