Local emergency lighting installation in Portslade

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Portslade buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

In Portslade, 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.

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