Local emergency lighting testing in Clydau

Where Clydau buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Clydau buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Clydau is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts SA35, SA36 and SA37. We regularly work across Dyfed, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Clydau FAQs

Is the price fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Do you remove the old fittings in Clydau?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

Do you cover all of Clydau?

Yes. We work across Clydau and the SA35, SA36 and SA37 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Crymych, Boncath and Newcastle Emlyn.

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.
