Local emergency lighting installation in Hockley

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

In Hockley, 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.

Hockley is a local centre, covered by postcode districts SS5, SS6 and SS4. We regularly work across Essex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
