Local emergency lighting installation in Chelsea

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

We cover the whole of Chelsea, including the SW3, SW10 and SW7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Battersea, Queenstown and Latchmere.
