Local emergency lighting installation in Stockport

Most Stockport 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.

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

Stockport is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts SK1, SK3 and SK4. We regularly work across Greater Manchester, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
