Local emergency lighting testing in Islington
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Islington buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
If fittings in your Islington premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

Islington FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Islington?
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.
Do you cover all of Islington?
Yes. We work across Islington and the N1, EC1V and EC1R postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Highbury, Holloway and Camden.
Do you remove the old fittings in Islington?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
