Local emergency lighting installation in Camden

Most Camden 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.

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

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