Emergency lighting installation in Southall

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Southall premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Southall

Most Southall 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 Southall buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

For Southall premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
