Emergency lighting installation in Wallasey

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Wallasey, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Wallasey

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

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

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