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