Local emergency lighting installation in Hinckley

Most Hinckley 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.

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

Our teams travel to Hinckley from across Leicestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Earl Shilton, Nuneaton and Market Bosworth, so we can often combine survey visits.

Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Hinckley offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
