Local emergency lighting installation in Lifton

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

In Lifton, 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 Lifton from across Devon. Typical nearby jobs include South Petherwin, Tavistock and Callington, so we can often combine survey visits.

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