Local emergency lighting installation in Wingerworth

Most Wingerworth 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.

In Wingerworth, 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.

Our teams travel to Wingerworth from across Derbyshire. Typical nearby jobs include Clay Cross, Chesterfield and Bolsover, so we can often combine survey visits.
