Local emergency lighting installation in Northwich

In Northwich, 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 Northwich buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Northwich is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts CW9 and CW8. We regularly work across Cheshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
