Local emergency lighting testing in Dunstable

If fittings in your Dunstable premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

Where Dunstable buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Our teams travel to Dunstable from across Bedfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Thorn, Luton and Leighton Buzzard, so we can often combine survey visits.
