Local emergency lighting testing in Edinburgh
Where Edinburgh buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Many Edinburgh 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 Edinburgh, including the EH2, EH3 and EH1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Granton and Trinity, Leith and Morningside, Braid Hill and Swanston.
