Local emergency lighting testing in Upton
If fittings in your Upton premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Where Upton buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
We cover the whole of Upton, including the BH16, BH18 and BH15 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Poole, Wimborne Minster and Wareham.
