Emergency lighting installation in Woking
- 01
Who needs emergency lighting
Most workplaces, shops, HMOs and the shared areas of blocks of flats need emergency lighting, depending on the fire risk assessment. The person responsible for the building must make sure people can find their way out safely if the normal lighting fails.
- 02
Where the lights go
Emergency lights are placed along escape routes, at every exit, at changes of direction and level, near fire alarm call points and firefighting equipment, and in larger open areas. Illuminated exit signs show the way out. The layout follows the fire risk assessment and the British Standard.

Maintained or non-maintained
Non-maintained fittings only light up when the power fails, which suits most corridors and stairs. Maintained fittings stay on all the time and switch to battery in a power cut, which suits exit signs in places like cinemas and halls. Many are now self-testing.
What to expect from an emergency lighting installation
We start with your fire risk assessment and a walk round the building to mark escape routes, exits and open areas. We then design the layout, choose maintained or non-maintained fittings where each is needed and give you a free quote.
We install the fittings and exit signs, wire them to the local lighting circuits and carry out a full-duration test once the batteries have charged. You receive the installation certificate, a logbook and a layout, ready for the regular testing that follows.

Emergency Lighting Installation questions
Does my business in Woking need emergency lighting?
Most business premises with staff or visitors do, especially where escape routes have no natural light or are used after dark. Your fire risk assessment should say what's needed. If you're unsure, we can look at the building and explain what's normally required.
Do HMOs and blocks of flats need emergency lighting?
Often, yes, in the shared hallways and stairs, depending on the size and layout of the building and its fire risk assessment. Individual flats usually don't need it inside. We can install it in shared areas and set up the testing schedule.
How long must emergency lights stay on in a power cut?
Most emergency lighting in the UK is designed to run for three hours on battery, which allows time for everyone to leave and for the building to be checked. Some smaller premises that are evacuated straight away can use one-hour fittings, depending on the risk assessment.
Can you upgrade old emergency lights in a Woking building?
Yes. Old fittings with failing batteries or fluorescent lamps can be replaced with LED emergency lights, often self-testing ones that check themselves and flag faults. We check the layout still meets the current standard at the same time, and update the logbook and drawings.
