Emergency lighting testing in Bakewell

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

Bakewell FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Bakewell?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Bakewell offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Bakewell?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

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.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?
