Local emergency lighting installation in Loughton

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

We cover the whole of Loughton, including the DY14 postcode district, and nearby places such as Cleobury Mortimer, Ludlow and Chetton.
