Emergency lighting for Ilkley buildings
Ilkley has many large Victorian houses, a busy independent high street and plenty of hospitality venues. Customers here often ask for neat installations that blend into period interiors.
For shared areas in flats and HMOs we light corridors and stairs as required by the fire risk assessment. For hotels and venues we light escape routes, function rooms and stairs used by guests who do not know the building. For shops we light the sales floor, stockrooms and exits.
