Local emergency lighting installation in Radcliffe

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

Most Radcliffe 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.

Radcliffe is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts M26, M45 and BL9. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Radcliffe FAQs

Do you remove the old fittings in Radcliffe?

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.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Radcliffe?

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.
