Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarms in Bristol
Installation, testing, and maintenance of emergency lighting and fire alarm systems for commercial and industrial premises. Fully compliant with BS 5266 and BS 5839.
Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarm Services
Emergency lighting and fire alarm systems are critical life safety installations that protect people in your building. They are a legal requirement in commercial and industrial premises under fire safety legislation, and must be properly designed, installed, and maintained to comply with BS 5266 (emergency lighting) and BS 5839 (fire detection and alarm systems). MB Electrical provides complete design, installation, testing, and maintenance services for both systems across Bristol.
For emergency lighting, we design and install systems that ensure safe evacuation of your building in the event of a mains power failure. This includes illuminated exit signs, escape route lighting, open area lighting, and high-risk task area lighting. We use high-quality LED emergency luminaires with self-test functionality where possible to simplify ongoing maintenance.
For fire alarm systems, we install conventional, addressable, and wireless systems tailored to your building size, use, and risk profile. From simple Grade D systems for HMOs and residential properties to full Category L1 addressable systems for large commercial and industrial buildings, we design and install to the appropriate standard and provide ongoing maintenance to keep your system compliant and operational.
MB Electrical holds NICEIC Approved Contractor status — the highest tier of NICEIC accreditation. This requires regular assessment of competence across domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical work, ensuring that every project we deliver meets the highest professional standards.
