Local emergency lighting installation in Trimdon

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

Trimdon is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts TS29, TS28 and DH6. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
