Local emergency lighting installation in Colan

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

Colan sits within Cornwall. We work throughout the TR8 and TR7 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Newquay, St Columb Major and Perranporth.
