Emergency Lighting Services –

Design, Installation & Compliance Testing

​

In the event of a fire or power failure, emergency lighting saves lives. At Calendar Fire Ltd, we design, install, and maintain emergency lighting systems that ensure safe evacuation, meet legal requirements, and keep you fully inspection-ready.
​

 Why Emergency Lighting Is Critical

Under BS 5266-1 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all non-domestic buildings must have compliant emergency lighting — especially in:
  • Escape routes
  • Stairwells and fire exits
  • Plant rooms and high-risk areas
These systems must activate automatically during a power failure, guiding occupants safely out of the building and helping first responders operate efficiently.
We make sure your lighting system does exactly that — and keeps you on the right side of the law.
​

 What We Provide

We deliver a complete, no-hassle service for emergency lighting systems:
  • System Design
    Custom layouts based on your building plan and fire strategy — from basic escape lighting to fully zoned emergency schemes.
  • Installation
    Expert fitting of bulkheads, twin-spots, downlights, exit signs, and integrated systems — installed with minimal disruption to your operations.
  • Routine Testing & Maintenance
    We carry out:
    • Monthly functional tests (flick test)
    • Annual 3-hour drain-downs (full discharge test)
    in line with BS 5266-1.
  • Remedial Work & Upgrades
    Failed lights? Missing coverage? We replace damaged fittings, extend coverage, and upgrade to LED or self-testing systems.
​

 Suitable for All Building Types

We install and maintain emergency lighting across all property types:
  • Offices & commercial premises
  • HMOs & apartment blocks
  • Warehouses & industrial units
  • Schools, care homes & healthcare buildings
  • Retail units, leisure facilities & public venues
We’ll match the right fitting to your space — whether that’s discreet downlights in corridors, high-output twin-spots for warehouses, or self-contained exit signage for public areas.
​

 Compliance, Certificates & Reporting

After every test, service, or installation, you’ll receive:
  • A detailed emergency lighting service report
  • A Certificate of Testing for your records
  • Logbook updates or new logbooks if needed
  • Fully documented remedial actions and photos (on request)
All work is carried out by qualified engineers and fully documented for fire risk assessors, insurers, and audits.
​

 Need Emergency Lighting Installed or Checked?

Whether you’re starting from scratch or need your existing system brought back to compliance — we’re here to help.
We offer quick site visits, nationwide coverage, and transparent pricing.

PAT Testing – Portable Appliance Testing Made Easy

​

Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of workplace fires — but most are preventable. At Calendar Fire Ltd, we provide fast, hassle-free PAT testing that keeps your business compliant, reduces risk, and ensures all electrical equipment is safe to use.
​

 What Is PAT Testing?

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) involves inspecting and electrically testing any plug-in equipment — from kettles to laptops to site tools.
It’s a vital requirement under:
  • The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989
  • The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
Most insurers, landlords, and safety assessors now expect documented PAT testing as part of fire safety compliance.
​

 What We Provide

We make your testing process smooth, flexible, and fully traceable:
  • On-Site Testing at Your Convenience
    Early mornings, evenings, or quiet periods — we work around your schedule.
  • Thorough Inspections & Electrical Testing
    Every appliance is tested for:
    • Visible damage
    • Earth continuity
    • Insulation resistance
    • Correct fuse rating
  • Clear Labelling
    Each item receives a pass/fail sticker with ID number, test date, due date, and engineer initials.
  • Digital PAT Testing Report
    You’ll receive a full asset register with test results, appliance types, and retest due dates.
  • PAT Certificate of Testing
    Issued for insurance, auditing, and fire risk assessment records.
​

 What Equipment Needs PAT Testing?

We test all 230V and 110V portable or plug-in equipment, including:
  • Computers, monitors, phone and device chargers
  • Kitchen appliances (microwaves, kettles, fridges)
  • Fans, heaters, lamps
  • Extension leads, 4-gang adaptors, surge protectors
  • Power tools and handheld site equipment
  • Industrial and workshop plug-in tools
If it plugs into a socket — it needs testing.
​

 How Often Should PAT Be Carried Out?

Testing frequency depends on risk level, usage, and environment. Here’s a general guide:
Environment/ItemSuggested Interval
Office equipmentEvery 1–2 years
Construction toolsEvery 3–6 months
Schools, public buildingsAnnually
Landlord or HMO propertiesAnnually
Server rooms & IT racksAnnually
We can build a tailored testing schedule based on your risk level and usage pattern.

Fire Safety Equipment & Signage – Supply, Installation & Compliance

​

Clear, compliant fire signage is just as essential as alarms and extinguishers. At Calendar Fire Ltd, we supply and install BS-compliant signage and essential fire safety accessories, helping you stay legally compliant while making your building safer and easier to evacuate.

​

 What We Supply & Install

We provide a full range of signage and safety accessories, installed to the highest standards:

    • Available in left/right/up/down arrow variants

 Why Fire Signage Matters

Fire signage isn’t just helpful — it’s legally required in most non-domestic buildings.
Proper signage:
  • Speeds up evacuation during emergencies
  • Reduces confusion and panic
  • Ensures extinguishers and fire exits are easily located
  • Helps new staff, contractors, and visitors act confidently in high-risk moments

​

 Common Signage Issues We Fix

We’re often called in to correct issues such as:
  • Outdated or missing Fire Action Notices
  • Conflicting or unclear exit signage due to layout changes
  • Mixed or non-compliant signage styles (e.g. mixing BS 5499 with ISO 7010)
  • Unlabelled extinguishers and call points, which could hinder emergency use

AOV & Smoke Vent System Servicing –

Keep Escape Routes Clear & Compliant

​

Smoke ventilation is critical to life safety. At Calendar Fire Ltd, we specialise in the servicing and maintenance of Automatic Opening Vent (AOV) systems, ensuring your smoke control systems remain compliant, functional, and ready in an emergency — in line with BS 9999 and BS 7346.
​

 What We Service

We focus on the electrical control components of smoke ventilation systems, including:
  • AOV Control Panels
    Inspection, functional testing, and fault diagnostics
  • Smoke Detection Triggers & Override Switches
    Testing activation devices and manual inputs
  • Battery Backup & PSU Checks
    Confirming emergency power is available and correctly sized
  • System Reset Functions & Fault Indicators
    Verifying system resets correctly and displays faults when needed
  • Integration with Fire Alarm & Smoke Shafts
    Ensuring reliable signal transmission and correct interfacing
 
🔹 Please note: we do not install or replace physical vents, windows, or actuators — but we ensure your connected systems operate reliably when it matters most.
​

 Typical AOV Applications

AOV systems are commonly required in buildings where smoke control is essential for safe evacuation:
  • Apartment blocks & HMOs (for stairwells and lobbies)
  • Multi-storey buildings with protected escape routes
  • Schools, care homes & supported living environments
  • Commercial and mixed-use premises
If your fire strategy includes smoke shafts or vented corridors, your AOV system must be regularly maintained and logged.
​

 AOV Maintenance Schedule

To remain compliant and functional, AOV systems should be serviced:
  • Annually, as per BS 7346 and BS 9999
  • More frequently in high-risk or vulnerable-occupancy buildings
✅ Full service certificate provided
✅ System performance documented
✅ Remedial issues clearly highlighted
Regular testing helps prevent silent system failures and supports your building’s fire risk assessment.
​

 Why AOV Servicing Is Critical

AOV systems reduce smoke buildup, lower heat levels, and maintain escape route visibility — giving occupants and first responders the best chance to act quickly.
But unlike alarms, AOVs can fail silently — often due to battery faults, panel issues, or poor integration. That’s why routine servicing and documentation is essential.

​

 Not Sure What AOV System You Have?

Whether you need a routine service, system fault diagnosis, or just want to understand what’s installed, Calendar Fire Ltd can help.
✅ Clear system reports
✅ No guesswork
✅ Nationwide support
Contact us today to book your AOV system check or to add AOV testing to your fire safety service package.
