Local emergency lighting installation in Maghera

Most Maghera premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Maghera buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

We cover the whole of Maghera, including the BT46 postcode district, and nearby places such as Magherafelt, Cookstown and Randalstown.
