Emergency lighting testing in Ashford
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Ashford buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Ashford
We leave Ashford clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
Many Ashford businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Our teams travel to Ashford from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Wye, Shadoxhurst and Smarden, so we can often combine survey visits.

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Ashford offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?
Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
