Local emergency lighting installation in Hayes

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

Most Hayes 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.

Hayes is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts BR2, BR4 and BR1. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
