SERVICE-SPECIFIC FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Light Certificate
Practical answers for landlords, agents and property owners arranging this service in London.
What is an emergency lighting certificate?+
It records the inspection and testing of emergency lighting for the agreed premises and documents the condition or defects found.
How often should emergency lighting be tested?+
Routine functional checks and periodic full-duration testing are typically part of an emergency-lighting maintenance programme. The exact regime depends on the installation, premises and applicable requirements.
What areas normally need emergency lighting?+
Relevant escape routes, stairs, changes of direction/level, final exits and other risk points may require coverage depending on the building and fire-safety design.
What happens if fittings fail the test?+
Failed or inadequate fittings are recorded and remedial work can be quoted separately. A satisfactory outcome depends on the system meeting the agreed inspection criteria.
Is emergency lighting required in every rental property?+
Not every property has the same requirement. HMOs, communal areas and other premises may have different obligations depending on layout, occupancy and fire-safety assessment.
Does the certificate include new installations?+
No. Installation or replacement work is a separate service and can be quoted through the Emergency Lighting Installation page.
How long does the test take?+
It depends on system size, access and the type of test required. Full-duration testing takes longer than a short functional test.
Can the visit be coordinated with fire-alarm work?+
Often yes, subject to scope and engineer availability. For multiple fire-safety services, request a combined quote.
