Local emergency lighting installation in Highfields

We often find dark spots in Highfields buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Most Highfields 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.

We cover the whole of Highfields, including the CB23 and CB3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hardwick, Cambridge and Impington.
