Local emergency lighting testing in Croydon
We leave Croydon clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
Where Croydon buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
We cover the whole of Croydon, including the CR7, CR0 and CR9 postcode districts, and nearby places such as South Croydon, South Norwood and Upper Norwood.
