Emergency lighting testing in Manchester
Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Manchester and Greater Manchester. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Manchester buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Manchester FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Manchester?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Manchester offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Manchester?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
