Local emergency lighting testing in Hayes
Where Hayes buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hayes buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
We cover the whole of Hayes, including the BR2, BR4 and BR1 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Beckenham, Orpington and Chislehurst.
