Local emergency lighting installation in Lancaster

In Lancaster, 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.

Most Lancaster 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.

Lancaster sits within Lancashire. We work throughout the LA1, LA4 and LA3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Morecambe, Heysham and Caton.
