Local emergency lighting testing in Ellerby

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

Many Ellerby businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

We cover the whole of Ellerby, including the HU11 postcode district, and nearby places such as Hornsea, Kingston upon Hull and Burstwick.
