Local emergency lighting installation in Kippax

In Kippax, 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.

For larger Kippax sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

Kippax is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts LS25, WF10 and LS26. We regularly work across West Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
