Local emergency lighting testing in Christchurch
Where Christchurch buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Many Christchurch businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Our teams travel to Christchurch from across Dorset. Typical nearby jobs include Bournemouth, New Milton and Ferndown, so we can often combine survey visits.
