Emergency lighting installation in Chichester

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Chichester buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Chichester

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

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

Chichester is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts PO19, PO18 and PO20. We regularly work across West Sussex, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
