Emergency lighting testing in Ipswich
Monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. If fittings in your Ipswich premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Local emergency lighting testing in Ipswich
Annual emergency lighting tests in Ipswich are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Where Ipswich buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
For Ipswich premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
