Local emergency lighting installation in Ludlow

In Ludlow, 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.

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

Ludlow is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district SY8. We regularly work across Shropshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
