Local emergency lighting installation in Appleton

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

In Appleton, 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.

Appleton is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts WA4, WA1 and WA2. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
