Local emergency lighting testing in Leicester
If fittings in your Leicester premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Leicester buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
For Leicester premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
