Emergency lighting for Sheffield buildings
Sheffield has a large industrial and manufacturing base in the Don Valley, two universities and major retail around Meadowhall, so projects here are often larger commercial and industrial systems.
For warehouses and factories we light escape routes and high-risk task areas around machinery. For schools we light classrooms, halls and escape routes and keep test records ready for inspection. For offices we light escape routes, stairs and exits so people can leave safely in a power cut.

Design and installation
We design escape route, open area and high-risk task lighting for Sheffield premises, with maintained or non-maintained fittings and illuminated exit signs, based on your fire risk assessment. Visits to Sheffield are planned in advance and grouped with nearby sites, so you are not paying for wasted travel.
Common faults we find
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.
