Emergency Lighting Services, Installation, Maintenance and Servicing
Hoyles Fire & Safety provides emergency lighting services for commercial and public sector buildings across Yorkshire and the UK. Our experienced emergency lighting installers design, install, maintain and service compliant systems that help occupants evacuate safely in the event of a power failure. From emergency escape lighting and exit signs for buildings to ongoing testing, repairs and maintenance, we help businesses keep their premises safe, visible and legally compliant.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 declares that it’s essential for commercial buildings to ensure exits and emergency routes are illuminated in the event of an electrical power failure. In addition, emergency escape lighting and exit signs for buildings should be installed in areas where there is no natural light and where people may need to leave safely in an emergency, whether that is indoors or outdoors.
At Hoyles Fire & Safety Limited, our expert engineers and emergency lighting installers can carry out emergency lighting installation for buildings of all sizes, ensuring legal requirements are met. What’s more, we’re LPS 1014-certified and are an approved NICEIC contractor, and we take great pride in using quality, industry-approved components to ensure your safety lighting is durable, well-positioned, and in working order to keep you safe.
Emergency Lighting Installation for Fire Escape Routes and Occupied Buildings
To ensure emergency lighting performs properly in an emergency, it must be planned, designed and installed correctly. Our emergency lighting contractors create reliable systems for fire escape routes, stairwells, exits, corridors and other occupied areas within commercial buildings. Working in line with BS 5266-1, our engineers install emergency lighting for hotels, hospitals, offices, retail units and other commercial premises that need a safe and dependable backup lighting system in the event of power failure.
As well as planning and installation, we provide emergency lighting repairs, maintenance and servicing to keep your system in full working order and in line with legal requirements. If your layout, occupancy or site use changes, we can recommend updates to your emergency lighting so that escape routes and exit signs remain suitable for the building. This can also be coordinated alongside fire alarm maintenance and fire alarm installation services for businesses that need several life safety systems managed correctly.
We’re part of the LS Fire Group and we’re an industry leader in fire safety, providing emergency lighting services in Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield, as well as offering a nationwide service with the help of our partner brands. That includes emergency lighting installation in Huddersfield and surrounding areas for commercial premises that need compliant escape lighting and exit signage.

Emergency Lighting FAQs
- What emergency lighting services does Hoyles provide?
- At Hoyles Fire & Safety, we provide complete emergency lighting services, including system design, emergency lighting installation, repairs, ongoing maintenance, and compliance support. Our engineers work across commercial and public sector buildings to ensure escape routes, exit signage, and backup lighting remain reliable in an emergency.
- Where is emergency escape lighting required in a building?
- Emergency escape lighting and exit signs for buildings are typically required on escape routes, near final exits, at changes of direction, on stairways, and in areas without sufficient natural light. The aim is to help people leave the building safely if normal power fails.
- Is emergency lighting a legal requirement for commercial buildings?
- Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires responsible persons to ensure escape routes and exits can be used safely at all times, including during a power failure. Guidance for design, installation, and maintenance is commonly supported by BS 5266.
- How often should emergency lighting be tested and maintained?
- Emergency lighting should be checked regularly to make sure it works when needed. Industry guidance recommends monthly functional tests and a full annual duration test, alongside ongoing maintenance where faults or changes to the building are identified.
- Do Hoyles provide emergency lighting and fire alarm servicing together?
- Yes. We support clients with broader fire safety requirements, including emergency lighting and fire alarm servicing, which can make compliance easier to manage across one site or multiple premises. This joined up approach is particularly useful for facilities teams and organisations that want one provider supporting several life safety systems.
- What types of buildings do you install emergency lighting in?
- We install and maintain emergency lighting in a wide range of buildings, including schools, nurseries, universities, offices, healthcare settings, industrial premises, managed properties, warehouses, retail sites, and other commercial environments. The right solution depends on the building layout, occupancy, and fire risk profile.
- Do you cover Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield for emergency lighting installation?
- Yes. We support businesses and organisations across West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, while also providing wider UK coverage through the LS Fire Group. That means local support for regional clients, with the ability to assist larger organisations with multiple sites too.
- Why choose a professional emergency lighting contractor?
- An experienced emergency lighting contractor will ensure your system is properly designed, correctly positioned, and maintained in line with current standards. This helps reduce compliance risks, supports safe evacuation, and gives you clearer documentation for audits, fire risk assessments, and ongoing building management.
