Local emergency lighting installation in Kilby

In Kilby, 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.

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

Our teams travel to Kilby from across Leicestershire. Typical nearby jobs include Wigston Magna, Evington and Oadby, so we can often combine survey visits.
