Emergency lighting installation in Crawley

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Crawley premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

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

Most Crawley 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 cover the whole of Crawley, including the RH11, RH10 and RH6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Horley, Cuckfield Rural and Horsham.

Crawley FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Crawley?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Crawley offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Crawley?

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

Which rules apply to lighting work in Crawley?

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.

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.
