Local emergency lighting installation in Ely

Most Ely 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.

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Ely buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

We cover the whole of Ely, including the CB6 and CB7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Downham, Soham and Lode.
