Local emergency lighting installation in Oadby

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

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

We cover the whole of Oadby, including the LE2, LE18 and LE5 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Evington, Wigston Magna and Humberstone.
