Emergency lighting testing in Bayswater

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Bayswater buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

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

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

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

How quickly can you survey in Bayswater?

Most surveys in Bayswater can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
