Local emergency lighting testing in Hitchin
If fittings in your Hitchin premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hitchin buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Hitchin from across Hertfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Ippollitts, Letchworth Garden City and Arlesey, so we can often combine survey visits.
