Clear escape routes. Planned care.
We install and maintain emergency lighting for Coleraine shops, workplaces and managed buildings. From a town-centre refit to an existing system that needs attention, we assess the premises and give you a clear proposal for the work.
Based at Beresford House, we cover Coleraine and the surrounding Causeway Coast. Installation, testing and repairs can all be arranged with us.
Emergency light testing in Coleraine
For town-centre shops and shared buildings, we agree the areas covered and who keeps the records. Read how often emergency lighting should be tested.
Monthly checks
Each fitting and illuminated exit sign is checked in emergency mode. The supply and indicators are checked afterwards, with the result recorded.
Annual duration testing
We test for the full rated duration, commonly three hours, and plan the visit and recharge period around the safe use of your premises.
Faults and follow-up
Failed fittings are identified by location. We explain the repair needed, record outstanding work and agree arrangements for repair and retesting.
The right provision for your premises
Emergency routes and exits that need illumination must have adequate emergency lighting if the normal lighting fails. The fire risk assessment, escape arrangements and applicable building requirements establish the provision needed for your premises. We assess the installation against that requirement; the same layout is not suitable for every building.
Clear records help the person managing the building understand what has been checked and what still needs attention. We document findings and explain any remedial work.
In mixed-use town-centre buildings, shared stairs and exits need particular attention. We agree which areas are included in the work and who holds the records, so a shop and the accommodation above it are considered together.
New Installations
For new premises and refurbishments, we plan the luminaires and exit signs around the escape routes, use of the building and agreed design requirements. The proposal includes suitable equipment, installation arrangements and the commissioning records to be handed over.
Faults and repairs
We identify the failed fitting and the fault, explain the repair needed and agree the work. The person managing the premises must assess any immediate precautions needed to keep escape routes safe. A failure is recorded and followed through to repair and retesting; a test report alone does not resolve it.
A coordinated fire-safety installation
Where fire alarms and emergency lighting are being installed together, we coordinate the layout and work programme. Emergency lighting must operate appropriately when the normal lighting supply fails; any other interfaces need an agreed design and compatible equipment.
Older buildings and changing layouts
Coleraine has town-centre conversions, student accommodation and premises with shared access. A new partition, change of use or altered escape route can affect the lighting needed. We assess the actual layout and occupancy rather than assigning a system from the building type alone.

Emergency lighting in Coleraine, your questions
Does my Coleraine business need emergency lighting?
Emergency routes and exits that need illumination must have adequate emergency lighting if the normal lighting fails. The fire risk assessment, escape arrangements and applicable building requirements establish the provision needed for your premises. We assess the installation against that requirement; the same layout is not suitable for every building.
Can you help when an emergency light fails?
We identify the failed fitting and the fault, explain the repair needed and agree the work. The person managing the premises must assess any immediate precautions needed to keep escape routes safe. A failure is recorded and followed through to repair and retesting; a test report alone does not resolve it.
Does student accommodation need a different design?
The use of the building, people staying there and evacuation arrangements affect the design. Shared stairs and escape routes in a converted property need to be assessed with the accommodation they serve. We confirm the specification from the premises requirements rather than selecting it from a building label.
How much does emergency lighting installation cost in Coleraine?
A compliant installation for a typical small to medium Coleraine commercial premises covers supply, installation, and full BS 5266 documentation. Larger premises, integration with a fire alarm system, marine-environment fittings for marina or boatyard premises, or Category 2 specifications for healthcare and student accommodation will cost more. We provide fixed-price quotes following a free on-site survey, with no hidden extras. Maintenance contracts for ongoing compliance testing are also available for small premises. Call us on 028 7087 8077 for a no-obligation quote.

Do you install and maintain emergency lighting in Coleraine?
Yes. We install new systems, assess existing equipment and arrange testing and repairs in Coleraine and the surrounding area. The scope is agreed after reviewing the premises.
Can you take over an existing system?
We can assess a system installed by another company. We review its condition and available records before agreeing maintenance and any remedial work. An older system does not automatically need replacing.
