Local emergency lighting installation in Stretford

In Stretford, 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 Stretford 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 Stretford from across Greater Manchester. Typical nearby jobs include Old Trafford, Urmston and Sale, so we can often combine survey visits.
