Emergency lighting installation in Basingstoke

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Basingstoke premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in Basingstoke

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Basingstoke buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Most Basingstoke 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 Basingstoke premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
