Chilvers Electrical Services provides professional emergency lighting services in Milton Keynes for businesses, landlords and commercial properties. From installation, testing and maintenance to compliance checks, we ensure your emergency lighting system is safe, reliable and meets current UK regulations.
Emergency lighting provides essential illumination when the normal power supply fails, helping people evacuate safely and keeping escape routes, stairways and emergency exits clearly visible.
A correctly designed, installed and maintained emergency lighting system is an important part of building safety and can help premises meet their obligations under UK fire safety requirements.
Emergency lighting helps occupants safely leave a building during a power failure, fire or other emergency. It can reduce the risk of trips and falls, keep escape routes visible and provide illumination around emergency exits and safety equipment.
Emergency lighting systems should be regularly inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with the relevant requirements, including BS 5266-1 and applicable fire safety legislation.
Emergency lighting is commonly required in commercial and non-domestic premises, including offices, shops, warehouses, schools, care homes, hotels, HMOs, apartment buildings and other public or shared spaces.
The exact requirements depend on the building, its layout, occupancy and escape routes. A suitable assessment should be carried out to determine the appropriate emergency lighting provision for the premises.
Chilvers Electrical provides emergency lighting installation, testing and maintenance in Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and surrounding areas, helping businesses, landlords and property managers maintain safe and compliant premises.
Emergency lighting systems generally include maintained, non-maintained and combined emergency light fittings. Maintained fittings remain illuminated during normal operation, while non-maintained fittings switch on automatically when the normal power supply fails.
Combined fittings can provide both normal and emergency illumination from the same unit and may be suitable for certain commercial and public premises.
Emergency lighting can use self-contained rechargeable batteries within individual fittings or a central battery system supplying multiple emergency lights.
A professional installation should provide suitable illumination along escape routes, exits, stairways and other areas where emergency lighting is required, based on the design and requirements of the premises.
Regular emergency lighting testing and maintenance is essential to ensure the system operates correctly when required. Testing should be carried out at appropriate intervals, with results and maintenance recorded as part of the building’s fire safety records.
A full-duration test should also be carried out at the required interval to confirm the batteries can provide the necessary emergency illumination.

I needed a video doorbell installing, which proved surprisingly difficult connecting it to my wifi. Ashley was helpful, patient, and successful, and a nice guy as well. Reasonable prices too. Definitely recommended.Posted on Google M AliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an EICR carried out along with some other electrical work, and I was extremely impressed with Ashley's knowledge and professionalism. He explained everything clearly, upgraded my fuse board, and also installed an EV charger for me. Another electrician had previously told me that an EV charger couldn't be installed in my preferred location, but Ashley found a solution and completed the installation to a very high standard. The work was neat, tidy, and carried out efficiently. I would highly recommend Chilvers Electrical and will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs in Milton Keynes.
