Emergency lighting installation in Orton

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Orton buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Orton

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

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

Orton is a smaller town, covered by postcode districts CA5 and CA2. We regularly work across Cumbria, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
