Local emergency lighting installation in Henfield

Most Henfield 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.

In Henfield, 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.

We cover the whole of Henfield, including the BN5 and BN44 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Steyning, Newtimber and Clayton.
