Local emergency lighting testing in Montgomery
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Montgomery buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Many Montgomery businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Montgomery is a smaller town, covered by postcode district SY15. We regularly work across Powys, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Montgomery FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Montgomery?
Most surveys in Montgomery 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.
Do you cover all of Montgomery?
Yes. We work across Montgomery and the SY15 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Lydham, Castle Caereinion and Llanllwchaiarn.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Montgomery?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
