Local emergency lighting installation in Thamesmead

Most Thamesmead 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.

In Thamesmead, 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.

Our teams travel to Thamesmead from across Greater London. Typical nearby jobs include Abbey Wood, Plumstead and Crayford, so we can often combine survey visits.
