Local emergency lighting testing in Hyde
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hyde buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Where Hyde buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Hyde is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts SK14, SK16 and M34. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Hyde FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Hyde?
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.
Do you cover all of Hyde?
Yes. We work across Hyde and the SK14, SK16 and M34 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Denton, Dukinfield and Stalybridge.
Who does the work in Hyde?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
