Emergency lighting installation in Blackpool

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Available across Blackpool and Lancashire. In Blackpool, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

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

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

We cover the whole of Blackpool, including the FY1, FY3 and FY4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Poulton-le-Fylde, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes.

Blackpool 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.

Do you remove the old fittings in Blackpool?

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

Who does the work in Blackpool?

Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.

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.
