Emergency lighting testing in Cowley
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Cowley buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Many Cowley businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

Cowley 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.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Cowley?
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.
Do you remove the old fittings in Cowley?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
