Local emergency lighting installation in Lancing

In Lancing, 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.

Most Lancing 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.

Our teams travel to Lancing from across West Sussex. Typical nearby jobs include Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing and Steyning, so we can often combine survey visits.
