Local emergency lighting installation in Epping

Most Epping 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.

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

We cover the whole of Epping, including the CM16, CM18 and IG10 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Stapleford Abbotts, Harlow and Waltham Abbey.
