Many Monmouth businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

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

Monmouth is a smaller town, covered by postcode district NP25. We regularly work across Gwent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
