Local emergency lighting installation in Wishaw

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

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

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