Emergency lighting testing in Latchmere

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Many Latchmere 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 Latchmere

If fittings in your Latchmere premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

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

For Latchmere premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
