Emergency lighting installation in Lymington

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Lymington, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Lymington

Most Lymington 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 Lymington buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

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