Local emergency lighting installation in South Hayling

Most South Hayling 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.

In South Hayling, 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.

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