Emergency lighting installation in Crewe

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Crewe buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Crewe

In Crewe, 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.

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

Crewe is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts CW1, CW2 and CW5. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
