Emergency lighting installation in Leigh

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

Local emergency lighting installation in Leigh

In Leigh, 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.

Most Leigh 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.

Our teams travel to Leigh from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Atherton, Tyldesley and Croft, so we can often combine survey visits.
