Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Kempston and Bedfordshire. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Kempston buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Kempston
Many Kempston businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Where Kempston buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
For Kempston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Kempston FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Kempston?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Can you work out of hours in Kempston?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Kempston offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Kempston?
Most surveys in Kempston can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
