Local emergency lighting installation in Longstock

Most Longstock 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 Longstock buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

We cover the whole of Longstock, including the SO20 postcode district, and nearby places such as Andover, Romsey and Winchester.
