Service Methodology & Framework
The Standards of Excellence
Regulatory Compliance
Systems must be maintained in line with BS 5266 to ensure safe evacuation. Proper compliance helps you to:
- Maintain safe escape routes
- Routine functional & duration testing
- BS 5266 Logbook management
- Reduce risk during power failure
- Support insurance & fire safety requirements
- All work aligns with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Common Maintenance Gaps
We regularly see emergency lighting systems that create unnecessary risk due to poor maintenance, including:
Inconsistent Testing
Missing monthly functional or annual duration checks.
Incomplete Records
Missing logbooks that lead to failed audits.
False Confidence
Assuming units work without full-duration verification.
Failed Inspections
Issues only discovered during a fire risk assessment.
Poor documentation can lead to failed audits or enforcement issues.
The Fortis Approach
Fortis takes a structured, compliance-led approach focused on reliability.
- System Verification: Proper testing in strict accordance with BS 5266.
- Plain English Reporting: Identification of failed units and batteries explained clearly.
- Practical Upgrades: Guidance on cost-effective repairs or modern LED efficiency upgrades.
- Our focus is on real safety and peace of mind - not box-ticking.
Integration & Accountability
Emergency lighting is rarely a standalone issue. We provide a joined‑up approach with your wider compliance portfolio.
- Linked with Fire Risk Assessments
- Single Accountable Partner
Manage compliance without juggling multiple contractors
