Emergency lighting installation in Fleet
In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in Fleet premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.
Local emergency lighting installation in Fleet
Most Fleet 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.
Self-test emergency fittings suit many Fleet buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.
Our teams travel to Fleet from across Hampshire. Typical nearby jobs include Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley, so we can often combine survey visits.
