Emergency lighting testing in Chatham
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Many Chatham 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 Chatham
Annual emergency lighting tests in Chatham are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Chatham buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Chatham from across Kent. Typical nearby jobs include Rochester, Gillingham and Strood, so we can often combine survey visits.
