Local emergency lighting installation in Ballycastle

We often find dark spots in Ballycastle buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

In Ballycastle, 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 cover the whole of Ballycastle, including the BT54 postcode district, and nearby places such as Bushmills, Ballymoney and Portrush.
