Local emergency lighting installation in Marcham

In Marcham, 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.

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

Marcham is a local centre, covered by postcode districts OX13 and OX14. We regularly work across Oxfordshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
