Local emergency lighting installation in Harrogate

In Harrogate, 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.

For larger Harrogate sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Harrogate sits within North Yorkshire. We work throughout the HG2, HG1 and HG5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Knaresborough, Clint and Wetherby.
