Local emergency lighting installation in Thorn

In Thorn, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

For larger Thorn sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Thorn sits within Bedfordshire. We work throughout the LU5, LU4 and LU6 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Dunstable, Luton and Leighton Buzzard.
