Emergency lighting testing in Avoch

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Avoch buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Local emergency lighting testing in Avoch

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

We leave Avoch clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.

For Avoch premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

We cover Avoch by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?
