Westminster contains an extraordinary concentration of offices, government buildings, hotels, retail destinations, cultural venues and historic properties. Areas including Westminster, Victoria, Mayfair, Soho and Paddington welcome huge numbers of workers, residents and visitors every day, making reliable emergency lighting an essential part of building safety.

Maintaining emergency lighting in a busy central London building can present its own challenges. Here are answers to some of the questions we're commonly asked about inspection, testing and compliance.
1. How often should emergency lighting receive a function test?
Monthly function tests should be carried out to confirm that emergency luminaires activate correctly. An annual full-duration discharge test lasting three hours should also be completed to assess the backup battery supply.
2. Why is emergency lighting particularly important in busy buildings?
Buildings with high occupancy can require people to evacuate quickly if an emergency occurs. Reliable emergency lighting helps provide visibility along escape routes and around exits if normal lighting is unavailable.
3. Can older or historic Westminster buildings have their emergency lighting maintained?
Yes. We work across a wide range of properties, including older buildings and heritage premises as well as modern offices, hotels, schools, retail spaces and residential developments.
4. What happens during a professional maintenance visit?
Our engineers inspect the emergency luminaires, batteries, charging equipment and associated controls, complete the appropriate testing and document the results. Any defects or recommendations are clearly identified.
5. What if our emergency lighting fails a test?
We'll explain the issue identified and provide practical recommendations for remedial action. This gives you a clear understanding of what needs to be addressed and why.
