Local emergency lighting testing in Carlton
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Carlton buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Many Carlton 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 Carlton from across Nottinghamshire. Typical nearby jobs include Arnold, Nottingham and West Bridgford, so we can often combine survey visits.
