Local emergency lighting installation in Stroud

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

Exit signs in Stroud premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Our teams travel to Stroud from across Gloucestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Stonehouse, Tetbury and Dursley, so we can often combine survey visits.

Stroud FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Stroud?

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.

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.

Do you remove the old fittings in Stroud?

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

Which standard applies?

BS 5266-1:2025 is the current code of practice, replacing the 2016 edition. It works alongside BS EN 1838:2024 for light levels and BS EN 50172:2024 for installation, testing and records.
