Local emergency lighting testing in Barking
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Barking buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
If fittings in your Barking premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
For Barking premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
