Emergency Lighting

Emergency Lighting is a back-up system essentially needed in an emergency. If normal lighting fails the emergency lights will then provide adequate lighting to provide a safe exit avoiding hazards to human life, either through physical danger or panic. If fire occurs it is essential to quickly locate fire fighting equipment and identify exit routes to evacuate the building as quickly as possible. We will guide you through everything from the design and consultation stage to full installation and maintenance of the system.

The British Standard provides the emergency lighting designer with clear guidelines to work to. BS 5266-1: 2011 embraces residential hotels, clubs, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and colleges, licensed premises, offices, museums, shops, multi-storey dwellings, etc.

Although this standard recommends the types and durations of emergency lighting systems relating to each category of premises, it should be remembered that the standards are the minimum safe standards for these types of building and that a higher standard may be required for a particular installation.

Maintenance Schedule

Once your emergency lighting is installed it is important than you continue to test the functionality of your system to ensure it can perform as expected in the event of an emergency. Performing routine testing and maintenance also ensures the longevity of battery life and prolongs the lifespan of the system.

The maintenance schedules we offer clients would normally be broken down as a monthly functional test and an annual full discharge test. These tests can be arranged out of hours if required to minimise disruption to staff or customers.

If you have an existing system in place requiring maintenance or need a new system designing and installing please reach out and we will be more than happy to help.

Amanda Thomas
The Bank

"The 911 Fire Services team were a recommendation. Previously, we were a client of Chubb Fire for several years. After using such a large company (Chubb), it became apparent that we were paying a higher cost for the same services 911 provides. Ian and Steve are very proactive in their approach to our fire needs. They are very in-depth and have a great awareness of fire safety and legislation. The provide an exhaustive amount of knowledge in their field. When attending our offices, they are always warm, friendly and hospitable. It's so comforting to use such a company who are personable in their approach to business, coupled with the professionalism and awareness of the importance of what they do. We pay a fraction of the price for a service we now (I feel), is of higher quality - especially with regards to customer service. I have and will continue to recommend their services."

Grant Smith
Ralph Lauren

"I want to thank you for the exemplary manner in which you both conduct yourselves when at any of the Ralph Lauren stores. It's refreshing to still find a company in London which is fair, who are honest & conscientious, & always have a pleasant demur. I appreciate how you keep the flow of work progressing, knowing that you will endeavour to meet our needs, even when you are not directly involved, by being available at all times, responding promptly to our calls. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for fire safety."

Mary Green
Manor Hotel

"We have been working with 911 Fire Services for several years now and can not recommend them enough. They are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. All work undertaken is carried out to an extremely high standard. They are great communicators; always keep you informed of order progress, delivery schedules and installation dates. All works carried out have always been completed on time and within budget. If you need fire protection you need 911 Fire Services!"

Natalie Baldwin
Greenhill & Co

"Upon first meeting with Ian and Steve from 911 Fire Services, I instantly felt that they could be trusted - originating from fire-fighting backgrounds, they not only knew the industry inside-out, but also cared that procedures and tests were completed accurately, because the work clearly has a personal importance to them. This is the difference I found between the 911 team and other technicians working on similar services. They are such a friendly team and always complete the work with professionalism, discretion and a smile! I can't recommend their services highly enough."
