Local emergency lighting installation in Bigby

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

Most Bigby 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.

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