Local emergency lighting installation in Colehill

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

Most Colehill 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.

We cover the whole of Colehill, including the BH21, BH22 and BH18 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Wimborne Minster, Ferndown and Upton.
