Emergency lighting for Shipley buildings
Saltaire is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and many local buildings are listed or in conservation areas. We plan cable routes and device positions so systems protect the building without spoiling its character.
In historic buildings we choose fittings that suit the interior and plan wiring to avoid damage. For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut. For shared areas in flats and HMOs we light corridors and stairs as required by the fire risk assessment.
