Emergency Lighting Upgrade Across 40-Room School

The Project

The school’s existing emergency lighting system was ageing, non-compliant and failing periodic inspections. With around 40 classrooms, corridors, stairwells and ancillary spaces to cover, the estate required a full replacement programme to bring the building up to BS 5266 standard before the next Ofsted inspection cycle.

Hargan surveyed the full site, prepared a compliant design and agreed a phased installation programme that kept disruption to classrooms to a minimum.

What We Did

• Full site survey and BS 5266 compliant emergency lighting design
• Supply and installation of maintained and non-maintained LED emergency fittings throughout
• Central monitoring and test system linked to the school’s existing BMS
• Replacement of emergency lighting signage to current standards
• Full addressable system with automatic monthly and annual test logging
• Certificate of completion and emergency lighting log book to BS 5266

The Result

Works were completed across two half-term and holiday periods to avoid classroom disruption. The school’s facilities manager now has an automatically tested, fully documented system that satisfies insurer requirements and passed its next third-party inspection without issue.
