Emergency lighting installation in Salford

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

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

For larger Salford sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Exit signs in Salford premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Our teams travel to Salford from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Eccles, Manchester City Centre and Old Trafford, so we can often combine survey visits.

Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.

Is the price fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Do you remove the old fittings in Salford?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
