Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Penrith and Cumbria. Where Penrith buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Penrith

Penrith FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Penrith?
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 Penrith?
Most surveys in Penrith 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.
Can you work out of hours in Penrith?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Penrith 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.
