Local emergency lighting installation in Abingdon

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

In Abingdon, 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.

Abingdon is a working town with a good mix of businesses, covered by postcode districts OX14 and OX13. We regularly work across Oxfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
