Local emergency lighting installation in Wigan

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

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

We cover the whole of Wigan, including the WN1, WN3 and WN5 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hindley, Ashton in Makerfield and Westhoughton.

Wigan FAQs

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 Wigan?

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.

Do you remove the old fittings in Wigan?

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

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.
