Local emergency lighting installation in North Sunderland

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

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