Emergency lighting testing in Oban
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Oban buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Oban
If fittings in your Oban premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Many Oban businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Our teams travel to Oban from across Argyll and Bute. Typical nearby jobs include Lochdon, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Oban by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
