Emergency lighting testing in Ivybridge

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Ivybridge buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

If fittings in your Ivybridge premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

Many Ivybridge businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

Can you work out of hours in Ivybridge?

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

Do you remove the old fittings in Ivybridge?

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

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
