Emergency lighting testing in Southampton
Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Southampton and Hampshire. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Southampton buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Southampton
Annual emergency lighting tests in Southampton are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Where Southampton buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Southampton is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts SO14, SO15 and SO17. We regularly work across Hampshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Southampton FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Southampton?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Southampton 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 cover all of Southampton?
Yes. We work across Southampton and the SO14, SO15 and SO17 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hythe, Totton and Hedge End.
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.
