Emergency lighting testing FAQs for the East Riding of Yorkshire

Which towns in the East Riding of Yorkshire do you cover?

All of the East Riding of Yorkshire, including Kingston upon Hull, Bridlington and Beverley. See the towns list on this page for local pages.

How are prices set in the East Riding of Yorkshire?

Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.

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.

How often should emergency lighting be tested?

A brief functional test monthly and a full rated-duration test once a year, with results recorded. BS EN 50172:2024 also calls for illuminance measurement at five-year intervals.
