Local emergency lighting testing in York
We leave York clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.

Our teams travel to York from across North Yorkshire. Typical nearby jobs include Rawcliffe, Copmanthorpe and Upper Poppleton, so we can often combine survey visits.
