Emergency lighting testing in Kirkby
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Kirkby buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Local emergency lighting testing in Kirkby
If fittings in your Kirkby premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Many Kirkby 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 Kirkby from across Merseyside. Typical nearby jobs include Fazakerley, Norris Green and Maghull, so we can often combine survey visits.
