Local emergency lighting installation in Sandwich

We often find dark spots in Sandwich buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Most Sandwich 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 cover the whole of Sandwich, including the CT13 and CT14 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Deal, Wingham and Manston.
