Local emergency lighting installation in Leeds

In Leeds, 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.

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

Leeds is a major centre for offices, retail and industry, covered by postcode districts LS1, LS2 and LS3. We regularly work across West Yorkshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
