What we do in Newport: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Annual emergency lighting tests in Newport are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Local emergency lighting testing in Newport
Many Newport businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Where Newport buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Our teams travel to Newport from across the Isle of Wight. Typical nearby jobs include Cowes, Ryde and Sandown, so we can often combine survey visits.
