Local emergency lighting installation in Runcorn

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

Our teams travel to Runcorn from across Cheshire. Typical nearby jobs include Widnes, Halewood and Speke, so we can often combine survey visits.
