Emergency lighting testing in Pencoed

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Pencoed buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Local emergency lighting testing in Pencoed

If fittings in your Pencoed premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

Where Pencoed buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Pencoed sits within Mid Glamorgan. We work throughout the CF35, CF31 and CF32 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Coity, Bridgend and Garw Valley.

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Pencoed 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.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Pencoed?

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

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.
