Local emergency lighting installation in Esh

Exit signs in Esh premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

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

Esh is a local centre, covered by postcode districts DH7 and DH1. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
