Emergency lighting for King's Lynn buildings

The East of England has fast-growing new towns, historic market towns, science parks and a busy logistics sector around its ports. Timber-framed listed buildings and modern warehousing sit side by side, each with very different fire detection needs.

When the mains supply fails, emergency lighting has to light escape routes, exits, changes of direction and firefighting equipment for long enough for everyone to leave. For most buildings that means three hours.

We design layouts from a survey, install maintained or non-maintained fittings, and carry out the monthly functional tests and annual full-duration tests that BS 5266-1 expects. For larger sites, self-test and addressable emergency lighting systems cut testing time and give you an automatic record.

The rules that apply in King's Lynn

In England, fire safety in non-domestic premises and the common parts of blocks of flats is governed by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Higher-risk residential buildings are also covered by the Building Safety Act 2022, which is overseen by the Building Safety Regulator.
