Emergency Lighting Installation in Cheltenham
BS 5266-compliant emergency lighting system installers covering Cheltenham and the wider Gloucestershire area — design, install, certification and servicing.
Emergency Lighting for Cheltenham Properties
We design and install BS 5266-1 emergency lighting across Cheltenham — escape-route, open-area and high-risk task lighting, with self-test fittings on larger sites.
Escape-route lighting specified sympathetically for period buildings around Imperial Square. Cheltenham brings two challenges most installers underestimate: a high concentration of listed and conservation-area properties, and a client base that expects systems to be invisible once finished. Our Cheltenham installations are routed and finished accordingly — surface trunking is avoided wherever cabling can be fished through voids, and devices are specified in finishes that suit Regency interiors.
Emergency Lighting Built for Cheltenham
The Cheltenham Difference
Discreet by default
We avoid surface trunking and exposed conduit wherever a fished route is possible — important on Regency and Victorian-era properties.
Listed-building literacy
We understand what a conservation officer will and will not approve and document our methods accordingly so listed-building consent stays clean.
Cleanly integrated with IT
Cheltenham professional offices typically already have managed IT. Our access control, IP CCTV and door entry are VLAN-aware and play nicely with your existing network.
Suited to high-end residential
Finishes specified in brass, antique bronze or matte black rather than the standard white plastic — small details that matter on Battledown and Prestbury homes.
Common Questions
How often does emergency lighting need to be tested?+
BS 5266-1 requires a short functional test monthly, plus a full three-hour discharge test annually. We provide both as part of our maintenance contract and issue a signed certificate.
Where is emergency lighting legally required?+
Any non-domestic premises with escape routes, plant rooms or high-risk areas must have compliant emergency lighting under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Do you supply self-test emergency lighting?+
Yes. Self-test fittings simplify compliance by running their own monthly and annual tests and flagging faults automatically — reducing ongoing servicing cost.
Will my Cheltenham listed building need consent for a fire alarm install?+
Often yes, particularly where surface fixings are involved. We design routes and fixing methods that minimise intervention into protected fabric and provide a method statement you can submit alongside the listed-building consent application.
Can you supply systems with finishes other than white plastic?+
Yes. For higher-end residential and heritage projects we routinely specify brass, antique bronze, matte black or stainless finishes — including for door contacts, keypads and CCTV housings.
