Emergency lighting installation in Highbury

Local emergency lighting installation in Highbury

In Highbury, 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.

Most Highbury 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.

Highbury is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts N5, N7 and N1. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
