Light and Chandelier Fixings should be tested for compliance every 12 months, on any occasion where the item being anchored is altered, and any time the anchorage system is moved.
Anchorage systems and support brackets are generally used for chandeliers, merchandising, lighting, and festive light installations, all of which are commonly in areas that the public are exposed to. Larger chandeliers may also include mechanical or manual winches and chains for ease of access.
Light fixings, chandeliers, and decorative installations often hang over public areas such as hotel lobbies, event spaces, retail floors, or streets. Even a small failure can lead to serious injury or damage. Regular anchorage inspections ensure that support systems remain safe, compliant, and capable of bearing load changes, vibration, and wear over time.
> Mitigate risk of failure, damage, or injury from chandelier or lighting fixture outages.
> Evidence-based assurance of compliance to insurers, auditors, and regulators.
> Improved aesthetics through cleaning and maintenance as part of each inspection.
> Single-point accountability — you deal with one specialist for testing, maintenance, and support.
Annual Anchorage Testing – We recommend inspections every 12 months, whenever the fixture is modified, or when the anchorage system has been altered or moved.
Detailed Compliance Reports & Certification – After inspection, we tag and certify each anchorage point and supply you with documentation you can rely on.
Visual Records & Restoration – Our operatives capture before-and-after imagery during maintenance, helping you track changes over time. We also clean chandeliers on site while carrying out compliance work, restoring them to their prime condition.
Fixing Assessment – We examine the structural integrity of brackets, chains, winches, support chains, mechanical lifts, and fasteners, and confirm whether they meet applicable British and European standards (e.g. BS EN 8539, BS EN 7883).
Remedial Repairs & Advice – If failures or non-compliances are found, our team will recommend or carry out corrective actions and support any warranty or regulatory follow-through.
