Local emergency lighting installation in Downham

Exit signs in Downham premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Most Downham 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.

Downham is a smaller town, covered by postcode district CB6. We regularly work across Cambridgeshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
