Emergency lighting testing in Duston

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

We leave Duston clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.

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

For Duston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Duston FAQs

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.

How quickly can you survey in Duston?

Most surveys in Duston can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

Which rules apply to lighting work in Duston?

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, 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.
