Local emergency lighting installation in Hedge End

Most Hedge End 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.

We often find dark spots in Hedge End buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Hedge End from across Hampshire. Typical nearby jobs include Locks Heath, Bishopstoke and Eastleigh, so we can often combine survey visits.
