Emergency lighting testing in Redruth
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Redruth buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Our teams travel to Redruth from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include Camborne, Perranarworthal and Kenwyn, so we can often combine survey visits.
