Emergency exit lighting and maintenance
People perform better and students learn more when they can work in a safe and comfortable environment. That’s why health and safety systems like emergency lighting should be discreet and regularly serviced. We’ve installed hundreds of emergency lighting systems for schools, colleges and businesses and continue to maintain the regulatory checks. A thorough understanding of the British Standard (BS5266-8:2004) for emergency escape lighting systems is essential to keeping organisations compliant and their employees’ lives safe.
Our team design, install, test and maintain emergency exit lighting systems. Our service covers:
Testing of each luminaire in emergency mode
Inspection of mains indicators to ensure they’re energised
Testing of luminaries for their full duration
Checking of charging arrangements for proper functionality
Full recording of findings documented in logbook

Fire alarm testing and maintenance
The reassurance and confidence that your systems work and that, should a fire occur, the alarm will help save lives is priceless. As a diligent, experienced and qualified electrical contractor, we can ensure that your fire alarm systems are expertly installed and regularly maintained. Working to the equipment manufacturers’ recommendations and British Standard (BS 5839:2002+A2:2008) requirements, you're in the right hands with Audio Visual & Electrical Services.
We can also help you set up, maintain and monitor a ‘weekly user test’ plan. These regular fire alarm tests help to demonstrate that employers have fulfilled their own responsibilities when it comes to fire risk assessments and taking of proper precautions. To comply with British Standards, tests should be carried out at least every six months and cover the following:
-
Ensuring that all logbook recommendations have been completed
-
Carrying out a visual inspection of all elements of the fire alarm system
-
Checking the operation of all sounders
-
Testing and inspecting standby batteries
-
Verifying the output functions of the control panel
-
Inspecting all controls and visual indicators to ensure they are energised
-
Production of the Certificate of Inspection by a 'competent person'
