Emergency lighting installation, testing and certification.

BIM Electrical Group installs, tests, repairs and maintains emergency lighting systems across London, Essex and the South East for commercial premises, HMOs, communal areas, managed buildings and rental properties.

Emergency lighting done properly.

Emergency lighting helps occupants find a safe route out during a mains power failure, fire alarm activation or emergency situation.

Whether you manage a commercial property, HMO, office, care home, communal area or rental portfolio, emergency lighting is a key part of the wider fire safety strategy.

We install new systems, replace failed fittings, carry out periodic testing and provide documentation where required.

Services include:

  • Emergency lighting installation.
  • Emergency lighting testing.
  • Emergency lighting certification.
  • LED emergency lighting upgrades.
  • Battery replacement.
  • Fault finding and repairs.
  • HMO emergency lighting.
  • Commercial emergency lighting systems.

Emergency lighting for commercial and residential properties

Emergency lighting systems are commonly required in communal escape routes, stairwells, corridors, offices, HMOs and commercial buildings.

Commercial buildings

Offices, shops, warehouses, salons, restaurants and workplaces requiring emergency escape lighting.

HMOs & landlords

Emergency lighting systems for shared accommodation, landlord properties and common escape routes.

Remedial works

Failed batteries, defective fittings, missing emergency coverage, damaged luminaires and certification issues resolved.

Emergency lighting testing and certification

Emergency lighting systems require periodic inspection and testing to confirm that fittings operate correctly during a mains power failure.

We carry out testing, identify failed components and provide practical recommendations where remedial works are required.

Typical issues found:

  • Failed battery packs.
  • Non-functioning emergency fittings.
  • Insufficient escape route coverage.
  • Damaged luminaires.
  • Incorrect installation.
  • Missing documentation.

Need fire alarm works too?

Emergency lighting and fire alarm systems often go hand in hand, especially where works follow a fire risk assessment.

We can quote both at the same time and coordinate any related electrical compliance works.
