Local emergency lighting installation in Welwyn

Most Welwyn 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.

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

Welwyn is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts AL6, AL8 and SG3. We regularly work across Hertfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Welwyn?

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.

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.

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