“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppHow much does an emergency lighting test cost?
An emergency lighting test and certificate starts from £150. A small premises with few fittings sits at that starting figure. Extra floors and extra luminaires raise the price from there.
Do the lights go off during the test?
The test isolates the mains to the emergency lighting so we can see which fittings stay on. Ordinary sockets and other circuits stay live unless a lamp shares that lighting circuit. We restore the supply before we leave.
Is this the same as a fire alarm test?
No. Emergency lighting is the lamps and exit signs that stay on when the power fails. Fire alarm testing is a different visit with its own certificate, and you can book both.
Do I need this for a house?
Most houses do not have emergency lighting, so this visit is for workplaces, shops and landlord buildings with escape lighting. Ordinary house lights are a different job. An EICR from £150 checks the safety of the fixed wiring instead.
What if a light fails the test?
The certificate records the failed fitting and a replacement battery, lamp or luminaire can be priced on the day. The £150 starting price covers the test and the certificate, not the parts. The repair can wait for a later visit if you prefer.
