Local emergency lighting testing in Cheddar
Many Cheddar businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Where Cheddar buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
