Emergency Light Testing

Emergency Lighting Testing & Maintenance

Keep your buildings safe, compliant and ready when it matters most

 When the power fails, your emergency lighting is the roadmap out of the building. If it doesn’t work, people don’t just lose light – they lose safe escape routes.


At CSE Facilities, we provide planned emergency lighting testing, inspection and certification for commercial, industrial and educational buildings across the UK, with a strong base in the North West.


✔ BS 5266 compliant
✔ Detailed test logs & asset registers
✔ Minimal disruption to your operations


Why Emergency Lighting Testing Matters


Legal Compliance

Employers and duty holders must ensure emergency lighting is installed, tested and maintained in line with UK regulations and standards. Regular testing demonstrates that you’ve taken all reasonable steps to protect staff, pupils and visitors.


Life Safety

In a fire or power cut, exit routes, stairwells and high–risk areas must remain visible. Properly tested emergency lights give people a clear, safe route out of the building.


Insurance & Risk Management

Inadequate testing can undermine insurance claims after an incident. Our digital records and certificates provide clear evidence that your systems are maintained correctly.


Peace of Mind for Duty Holders

We take ownership of the schedule, reminders and reporting – so you don’t have to chase tests, dates or paperwork.

Who We Work With

We deliver emergency lighting testing for:


  • Schools, academies and multi-academy trusts
  • Colleges and universities
  • Offices and commercial buildings
  • Warehouses, factories and industrial units
  • Retail, hospitality and leisure
  • Residential blocks and HMOs
  • Local authorities and public buildings


Whether you have one building or a nationwide portfolio, we can manage testing across all your sites.
