Local emergency lighting installation in Boston

In Boston, 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.

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

We cover the whole of Boston, including the PE21 postcode district, and nearby places such as Swineshead, Old Leake and Fleet.

Boston FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Boston?

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 Boston?

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.

What does emergency lighting cost?

As a budget, emergency luminaires and exit signs cost around £60–£150 each supplied and installed, excluding VAT. New circuits, design and certification on larger sites add to this.
