Emergency lighting installation in Wembley

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Available across Wembley and Greater London.

A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

Local emergency lighting installation in Wembley

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

Most Wembley 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.

Wembley is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts HA0, HA9 and UB6. We regularly work across Greater London, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
