Local emergency lighting installation in Alvechurch

Exit signs in Alvechurch premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

We often find dark spots in Alvechurch buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.
