Each emergency lighting project has a service-specific scope, with more detail available in our shared electrical project process.
Step 1
Initial discussion
We confirm the commercial requirement, who the work affects and the practical reason for the enquiry.
Step 2
Site assessment
The existing installation, access, likely cable routes and any constraints are reviewed before the scope is finalised.
Step 3
Scope and quotation
The quotation describes the agreed emergency lighting scope, known assumptions and exclusions.
Step 4
Planning and access
Dates, isolations, access arrangements and coordination with other trades or site users are agreed before work starts.
Step 5
Installation
The work is completed with attention to premises layout, responsible-person requirements, fitting suitability, access, installation and test records.
Step 6
Inspection and testing
New or altered electrical work is inspected and tested where required before handover.

Emergency Lighting Questions and Answers
Do you design full emergency-lighting schemes?
Electrical installation work can be provided, but formal design responsibilities must be agreed and may involve specialist input.
Can failed fittings be replaced?
Yes, where the replacement is suitable and the scope is clear.
Is emergency-lighting testing separate from an EICR?
Yes. Emergency-lighting functional and duration testing is a separate matter from fixed-wire inspection.
