Keep London escape routes safe and compliant

Emergency lighting is a legal requirement for almost every commercial property in London. Guardian Fire Solutions delivers BS 5266 testing and maintenance for offices, retail, hospitality, education, healthcare and residential blocks across every London borough.

We carry out the short monthly function test and the full annual three-hour duration test, replace failed luminaires and batteries, and provide a clear certificate and logbook entry after each visit. Reports are written so insurers, landlords and the London Fire Brigade can review them at a glance.

Routine testing reduces sudden failures, extends battery life and keeps your property compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
