Local emergency lighting installation in Borehamwood

Most Borehamwood 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 Borehamwood, 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.

Borehamwood sits within Hertfordshire. We work throughout the WD6, WD7 and HA8 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Radlett, Barnet and Totteridge.
