Local emergency lighting installation in Ferryhill

In Ferryhill, 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.

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

Our teams travel to Ferryhill from across County Durham. Typical nearby jobs include Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Trimdon, so we can often combine survey visits.
