Emergency lighting installation in Marlow

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Marlow premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Marlow

Most Marlow premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

In Marlow, 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.

Our teams travel to Marlow from across Buckinghamshire. Typical nearby jobs include Wooburn, Maidenhead and Chepping Wycombe, so we can often combine survey visits.
