Emergency lighting installation in Heavitree

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Heavitree premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Heavitree

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

For larger Heavitree sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

For Heavitree premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
