Local emergency lighting testing in Leith
If fittings in your Leith premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Leith buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Leith from across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Typical nearby jobs include Granton and Trinity, Edinburgh and Portobello, so we can often combine survey visits.
