Emergency lighting testing FAQs for Surrey

Which towns in Surrey do you cover?

All of Surrey, including Woking, Guildford and Esher. See the towns list on this page for local pages.

How are prices set in Surrey?

Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.

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.

Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?

Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
