Local emergency lighting installation in Falmouth

For larger Falmouth sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

In Falmouth, 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.

Our teams travel to Falmouth from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include Penryn, Perranarworthal and Truro, so we can often combine survey visits.

Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.

Can you work out of hours in Falmouth?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Falmouth offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
