Local emergency lighting installation in Hereford

In Hereford, 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.

Exit signs in Hereford premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

We cover the whole of Hereford, including the HR1 and HR4 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hampton Bishop, Burghill and Allensmore.
