Emergency lighting installation in Kendal

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Available across Kendal and Cumbria. In Kendal, 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.

Kendal FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Kendal?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Kendal offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

How quickly can you survey in Kendal?

Most surveys in Kendal can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.

Do you remove the old fittings in Kendal?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
