Emergency lighting testing in Wick
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Many Wick businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Local emergency lighting testing in Wick
If fittings in your Wick premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Where Wick buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Wick is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district KW1. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Wick 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.
