Emergency lighting for Leeds buildings
Leeds combines multi-tenant office blocks, large retail units, student accommodation and industrial estates. Shared buildings like these need clear responsibility for testing and a system that every tenant understands.
For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. For warehouses and factories we light escape routes and high-risk task areas around machinery. For schools we light classrooms, halls and escape routes and keep test records ready for inspection.

Design and installation
We design escape route, open area and high-risk task lighting for Leeds premises, with maintained or non-maintained fittings and illuminated exit signs, based on your fire risk assessment. Leeds is a short drive from our Baildon office, so visits are easy to fit around your opening hours.
Common faults we find
Batteries that last minutes instead of three hours, no test key fitted, exit signs pointing the wrong way after a refit, and gaps in coverage after partitions or racking were added. See our maintenance contracts.
