Local emergency lighting testing in Knighton

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

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

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