Local emergency lighting installation in Barnes

In Barnes, 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.

We often find dark spots in Barnes buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Barnes from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Chiswick, Roehampton and Putney, so we can often combine survey visits.
