Local emergency lighting testing in Halkirk
Many Halkirk businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Halkirk buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
For Halkirk premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Halkirk 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.
