Many Antrim businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Annual emergency lighting tests in Antrim are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.

Antrim FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Antrim?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010. For new lighting, Technical Booklet F2 sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Who does the work in Antrim?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Can you work out of hours in Antrim?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Antrim offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
