Local emergency lighting installation in Harringay

Most Harringay 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.

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

Our teams travel to Harringay from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Seven Sisters, Wood Green and Stamford Hill, so we can often combine survey visits.
