Emergency lighting provides vital visibility when normal illumination is unavailable, helping people identify escape routes and make their way out of a building safely. Because faults can develop without being obvious during everyday use, regular inspection and testing are essential. Maintaining your system properly helps uncover problems early, supports BS 5266 compliance and provides greater assurance that your emergency lighting will be ready when it's needed.

Lewisham has a varied property landscape, combining busy commercial centres, established residential neighbourhoods and major regeneration areas. Places such as Lewisham town centre, Catford, Deptford and New Cross are home to offices, shops, restaurants, schools and residential developments where reliable emergency lighting is an important part of protecting occupants.

If you're responsible for a property in Lewisham, keeping up with emergency lighting maintenance is an important part of managing building safety. Here are answers to several common questions about inspection, testing and ongoing maintenance.
1. What can happen if emergency lighting isn't maintained properly?
Faulty batteries, damaged fittings or other problems may prevent emergency lighting from operating effectively during a power failure. Regular maintenance helps identify these issues before they compromise the system.
2. How frequently does emergency lighting need to be tested?
Emergency lighting should undergo regular monthly function testing as well as a full-duration discharge test each year. The annual test lasts three hours and helps confirm that the system can operate on its backup power supply for the required duration.
3. Which parts of the system are checked during maintenance?
Our engineers inspect emergency luminaires, batteries, charging equipment and associated controls. We also complete the relevant testing and record the results so any issues can be clearly identified.
4. Can you look after emergency lighting in residential developments?
Yes. We provide maintenance for apartment buildings and other residential developments alongside offices, schools, retail premises, healthcare facilities, hotels, warehouses and public buildings.
5. What will happen if an inspection uncovers a problem?
We'll explain the fault clearly and provide practical recommendations for addressing it. This gives you a clear understanding of what needs attention and helps you make informed decisions about remedial work.
