Emergency lighting testing in Hemingstone

In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Hemingstone buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.

Local emergency lighting testing in Hemingstone

Annual emergency lighting tests in Hemingstone are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.

Many Hemingstone businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.

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