Local emergency lighting installation in Stratford

Most Stratford 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.

For larger Stratford sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Our teams travel to Stratford from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include West Ham, Bow and Canning Town, so we can often combine survey visits.
