Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Lincolnshire

What energy rules apply to new lighting in Lincolnshire?

Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Lincolnshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.

How are prices set in Lincolnshire?

Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.

What does an annual test cost?

As a budget, an annual duration test on a small system runs at about £125–£400 per visit, excluding VAT. Larger or high-access systems cost more.

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.
