Local emergency lighting installation in Great Dunmow

Most Great Dunmow 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 Great Dunmow buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

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