Emergency lighting testing in Poole
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Poole buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Poole
Many Poole businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
If fittings in your Poole premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
For Poole premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Poole FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Poole?
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.
Can you work out of hours in Poole?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Poole offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Poole?
Most surveys in Poole can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
