Local emergency lighting installation in Wallington

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Wallington buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

In Wallington, 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.

Wallington is a busy commercial centre, covered by postcode districts SM6, SM5 and SM1. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
