Local emergency lighting testing in Marlow
Annual emergency lighting tests in Marlow are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Marlow buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
For Marlow premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Marlow FAQs
Who does the work in Marlow?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Marlow?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
