Emergency lighting testing in Selkirk
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Where Selkirk buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Local emergency lighting testing in Selkirk
If fittings in your Selkirk premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Selkirk buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Selkirk from across the Scottish Borders. Typical nearby jobs include Galashiels, Newtown St Boswells and Walkerburn, so we can often combine survey visits.
