Local emergency lighting installation in Malpas

Most Malpas 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 Malpas buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Our teams travel to Malpas from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Whitchurch Rural, Wrexham and Waverton, so we can often combine survey visits.
