Local emergency lighting installation in Hampton

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

Most Hampton 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.

Our teams travel to Hampton from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include West Molesey, East Molesey and Hanworth, so we can often combine survey visits.
