Local emergency lighting installation in Staines

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

Most Staines 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 cover the whole of Staines, including the TW18, TW19 and TW20 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Egham, Ashford and Chertsey.
