We have used Luke to carry out our FRA’s on approximately 30 HMO properties. Luke is extremely reliable and very commercial. He spent time educating our builders on how to ensure everything complied with regulations and it means we have very few findings on our properties due to Luke’s time and expertise. I could not recommend Luke enough.
Emergency Lighting Services
Our comprehensive emergency lighting solutions offer peace of mind, compliance, and optimal safety.
When it comes to ensuring the safety and well-being of your occupants during emergencies, installing and maintaining effective emergency lighting is crucial. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Act 2005, businesses are legally obligated to have emergency lighting systems in place within their premises. These systems are specifically designed to illuminate escape routes and critical areas, providing clear visibility for safe evacuation in the event of a power failure.
Absolute Property Surveys has partnered with competent emergency lighting service contractors who specialise in the installation, maintenance, and servicing of emergency lighting systems.
Don’t compromise on the safety of your occupants or risk non-compliance. Contact us today to discuss your emergency lighting needs and ensure the well-being of everyone in your premises.
Guaranteed Compliance With BS:52661
BS 52661 provides recommendations for the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of emergency lighting systems. It is intended to support legal duties under fire safety legislation and to demonstrate due diligence by the responsible person. Following this standard is widely accepted as best practice for meeting emergency lighting requirements in the UK. All emergency lighting services guarantee compliance with all UK regulations, giving you peace of mind for your premises.
The 2025 revision of BS 52661 expands the scope beyond traditional escape route lighting and now formally covers three categories of emergency lighting:
- Emergency escape lighting – to assist occupants in safely evacuating a building
- Emergency local area lighting – to reduce risk in specific hazardous areas
- Standby lighting – to support continued activities where required

- Emergency lighting design and specification

Emergency lighting is an important safety system that ensures adequate lighting for evacuation during emergencies. These lighting solutions are triggered automatically when there is a power outage and when normal lighting fails.
Businesses and property owners are legally required to ensure adequate emergency lighting is installed and maintained to protect and guide occupants.
LED Emergency lighting solutions are ideal for offices, shops, hotels, schools, public houses, restaurants, student accommodation, and sports halls.
At Absolute Property Surveys, our LED systems provide three hours of reliable backup lighting after a mains power failure.
A regular test schedule is crucial to ensure that occupants of a building are able to safely evacuate the building if necessary, and the main power is out.
Your emergency lighting solutions should be tested every month. This check can be carried out quickly by activating the emergency lighting system for around 10 minutes to confirm that the lights are working, there are no visible defects, and the batteries are fully charged. The results of the monthly emergency lighting tests must be recorded in the building’s records each month.
Emergency lighting solutions should undergo further in-depth tests annually to ensure the system can withstand longer use without faults or errors. During this test, emergency lights may be switched on for an average of 3 hours, and results must again be recorded for compliance.
Adhering to BS 52661 helps ensure that emergency lighting systems perform as intended when normal lighting fails. Compliance supports:
- Safer evacuation and reduced risk of injury
- Clear demonstration of your duty of care
- Alignment with current UK fire safety expectations
- Consistent documentation and verification of systems
Using a recognised British Standard provides confidence to building owners, facilities
managers, insurers, and enforcing authorities alike.
