Local emergency lighting testing in Skelton
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Skelton buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Many Skelton businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Skelton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts TS12 and TS11. We regularly work across North Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
