Local emergency lighting installation in Ellesmere

In Ellesmere, 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.

Most Ellesmere 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.

Ellesmere sits within Shropshire. We work throughout the SY12 postcode district and surrounding places, including Oswestry, Whitchurch Rural and Myddle.
