Emergency lighting installation in Eccles

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Eccles buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Eccles

We often find dark spots in Eccles buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Most Eccles 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 cover the whole of Eccles, including the M30, M17 and M6 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Swinton, Salford and Stretford.
