Emergency lighting testing in Cambridge
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Cambridge buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Cambridge
Many Cambridge businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Cambridge buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Cambridge FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Cambridge?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Cambridge?
Most surveys in Cambridge 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.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
