Local emergency lighting installation in Acton

In Acton, 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 larger Acton sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

We cover the whole of Acton, including the W3, W5 and W4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Ealing Common, Chiswick and West Ealing.
