Local emergency lighting installation in Newtimber

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Newtimber buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Most Newtimber 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 Newtimber, including the BN45, BN6 and BN41 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Clayton, Portslade and Hove.
