Local emergency lighting installation in Thame

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

Most Thame 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.

Thame sits within Oxfordshire. We work throughout the OX9 and OX39 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Chinnor, Ashendon and Dinton.
