Local emergency lighting installation in Wollaston

Most Wollaston 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.

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