Emergency lighting installation in Ashford, Surrey

Emergency lighting installation in Ashford

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Ashford, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Ashford

Most Ashford 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.

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

Our teams travel to Ashford from across Surrey. Typical nearby jobs include Staines, Feltham and Sunbury-on-Thames, so we can often combine survey visits.

Ashford 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 Ashford?

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

How quickly can you survey in Ashford?

Most surveys in Ashford can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

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.
