What one happy customer says:

We take pride in our work at Collingwood Primary School, where we completed extensive fire system upgrades.

The school's appreciation for our high standards and detailed explanations demonstrates our commitment to exceptional service.

‘It is often the case that we're very quick to criticise work that's undertaken or services made but I kind of like to turn that on its head.

Tom was working here at Easter and this summer holiday to complete works to the new fire system...

I'd like to express my appreciation for his high standards and work ethic.

He's explained things in detail when I've queried something or expressed an interest in the work he was carrying out.

He's been amazingly polite and courteous to all staff that have been on site and that has been appreciated.

Rory also has been very helpful and he too deserves praise.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to other schools or companies should the subject arise.’

Chris Caton, Collingwood Primary School

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Typical Emergency Lighting Installation Take to Complete?

We'll customise your installation duration based on your facility's size and requirements. Most project timelines range from 1-3 days, but we'll provide a detailed schedule during your consultation to ensure proper planning and coordination with your operations.

What Is the Average Lifespan of Emergency Lighting Batteries?

We typically see emergency lighting batteries last 4-5 years with proper battery maintenance. However, lifespan factors like usage frequency and environmental conditions can impact this. Regular servicing, including monthly testing and annual professional inspections, helps ensure optimal performance.

Do All Areas of My Building Require Emergency Lighting Installation?

We'll assess your building against emergency lighting regulations and safety requirements. Not every area needs coverage - just escape routes, stairs, open spaces and high-risk zones where people need safe passage during power failures.

How Often Should Emergency Lighting Bulbs Be Replaced?

We recommend replacing emergency lighting bulbs every 4 years, based on manufacturer guidelines and safety standards. Regular testing helps monitor bulb lifespan, but scheduled replacement ensures optimal performance and safety compliance in emergency situations.
