Emergency lighting testing in Hereford
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Hereford buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Hereford
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hereford buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
If fittings in your Hereford premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Hereford is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts HR1 and HR4. We regularly work across Herefordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
