Emergency lighting testing in Maldon
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Many Maldon businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Local emergency lighting testing in Maldon
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Maldon buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Where Maldon buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Our teams travel to Maldon from across Essex. Typical nearby jobs include Danbury, Witham and Southminster, so we can often combine survey visits.
