Emergency lighting testing in Nottingham

Emergency lighting testing for Nottingham businesses, from a single unit to a multi-site estate. Our vetted teams cover Nottingham and nearby Basford, working out of hours where that suits you.

Emergency lighting testing in Nottingham

Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. If fittings in your Nottingham premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.

Local emergency lighting testing in Nottingham

Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Nottingham buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

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

Our teams travel to Nottingham from across Nottinghamshire. Typical nearby jobs include Basford, West Bridgford and Carlton, so we can often combine survey visits.
