Frequently Asked Questions

Is emergency lighting testing a legal requirement?

Yes. Commercial buildings, HMOs and many multi-occupancy residential properties must have maintained emergency lighting that is tested regularly in line with BS 5266. Landlords and property managers must keep test records available for inspection.

How often should fire alarms be tested?

The responsible person should carry out a weekly fire alarm function test. A competent person, such as one of our accredited electricians, should complete a six-monthly service and an annual inspection in line with BS 5839, with certification provided.

Do you provide certificates for landlords and property managers?

Absolutely. We provide digital test certificates, log-book entries and remedial reports for every property. These documents help demonstrate compliance to insurers, councils and letting agents.
