Local emergency lighting installation in Windermere

In Windermere, 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.

Most Windermere 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.

Windermere sits within Cumbria. We work throughout the LA23 postcode district and surrounding places, including Lakes, Coniston and Kendal.
