Emergency lighting installation in Caton

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Caton, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Caton

Most Caton 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.

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Caton buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

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