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.

Whether you require a new installation, routine emergency lighting testing or ongoing maintenance, our team can help you find the right solution for your property.
Guaranteed Compliance With BS:5266-1
BS 5266-1:2025 provides guidance on the design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of emergency lighting systems.
Following the standard helps building owners, landlords and responsible persons demonstrate good practice and support their duties under relevant fire safety legislation.
The standard covers three key categories of emergency lighting:
- Emergency escape lighting: Helps occupants safely evacuate a building when normal lighting fails.
- Emergency local area lighting: Provides illumination to reduce risks in specific areas during a power failure.
- Standby lighting: Allows certain activities to continue when the normal lighting supply is interrupted.
At Absolute Property Surveys, our emergency lighting services are designed to support relevant standards and the safety requirements of your premises.

Arrange Emergency Lighting services
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 5266-1 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.
