Local emergency lighting installation in Royston

In Royston, 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.

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

Royston sits within Cambridgeshire. We work throughout the SG8 postcode district and surrounding places, including Bygrave, Buntingford and Little Shelford.
