Emergency lighting installation in Eastbourne

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Eastbourne buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Eastbourne

In Eastbourne, 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 Eastbourne 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.

Eastbourne is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts BN21, BN20 and BN22. We regularly work across East Sussex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
