Local emergency lighting installation in Dorking

Most Dorking 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.

We often find dark spots in Dorking buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to Dorking from across Surrey. Typical nearby jobs include Brockham, Capel and Leatherhead, so we can often combine survey visits.
