Emergency lighting installation in Swansea

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Swansea buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Swansea

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

In Swansea, 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.

Swansea sits within West Glamorgan. We work throughout the SA1, SA2 and SA5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Sketty, Penderry and Llansamlet.

Swansea FAQs

Who does the work in Swansea?

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.

Do you remove the old fittings in Swansea?

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.

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.
