Local emergency lighting testing in Bournemouth
If fittings in your Bournemouth premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Bournemouth buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Bournemouth from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Christchurch, Poole and Ferndown, so we can often combine survey visits.
