Emergency lighting testing in Heriot
Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Available across Heriot and the Scottish Borders. Where Heriot buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.

Heriot FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Heriot?
Most surveys in Heriot 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 Heriot?
Yes. We work across Heriot and the EH38 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Arniston, Pathhead and Humbie.
Do you remove the old fittings in Heriot?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
