Local emergency lighting installation in Catford

In Catford, 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 Catford buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Catford from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Perry Vale, Brockley and Blackheath, so we can often combine survey visits.
