Emergency lighting installation in Hyde

Local emergency lighting installation in Hyde

Most Hyde premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

We often find dark spots in Hyde buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Hyde from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Denton, Dukinfield and Stalybridge, so we can often combine survey visits.

Hyde FAQs

Do you remove the old fittings in Hyde?

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

How quickly can you survey in Hyde?

Most surveys in Hyde can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Hyde?

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.

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.
