Emergency lighting testing in Plymouth
Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Plymouth and Devon. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Plymouth buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Plymouth
Many Plymouth businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
We leave Plymouth clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
Plymouth is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts PL1, PL4 and PL3. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Plymouth FAQs
Who does the work in Plymouth?
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.
Do you cover all of Plymouth?
Yes. We work across Plymouth and the PL1, PL4 and PL3 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Plymstock, Rame and Saltash.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Plymouth?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
