Emergency lighting for Bradford buildings
Many Bradford buildings are former mills and warehouses now used as offices, flats and workshops. Older structures like these often need systems designed around thick walls, open floors and changes of use.
For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. In historic buildings we choose fittings that suit the interior and plan wiring to avoid damage. For schools we light classrooms, halls and escape routes and keep test records ready for inspection.

Batteries that last minutes instead of three hours, no test key fitted, exit signs pointing the wrong way after a refit, and gaps in coverage after partitions or racking were added. See our maintenance contracts.
