Emergency lighting installation in Cheltenham

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Cheltenham premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Cheltenham

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Cheltenham buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

For larger Cheltenham sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Cheltenham sits within Gloucestershire. We work throughout the GL50, GL51 and GL52 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Hucclecote, Tewkesbury and Gloucester.

Cheltenham FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Cheltenham?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Cheltenham offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Cheltenham?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

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.

How long must emergency lights last?

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
