Emergency lighting installation in Shellingford

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Shellingford, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Shellingford

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Shellingford buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

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

Our teams travel to Shellingford from across Oxfordshire. Typical nearby jobs include Wantage, Carterton and Stanton Fitzwarren, so we can often combine survey visits.
