Local emergency lighting testing in Oldham
If fittings in your Oldham premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Where Oldham buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Oldham sits within Greater Manchester. We work throughout the OL1, OL9 and OL8 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Chadderton, Royton and Failsworth.

Oldham FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Oldham?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Oldham?
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 Oldham?
Yes. We work across Oldham and the OL1, OL9 and OL8 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Chadderton, Royton and Failsworth.
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.
