Emergency lighting for Skipton buildings
Skipton’s busy high street, holiday accommodation and older stone buildings mean much of our work here is protecting guests, staff and stock in traditional properties.
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. In historic buildings we choose fittings that suit the interior and plan wiring to avoid damage.

Design and installation
We design escape route, open area and high-risk task lighting for Skipton premises, with maintained or non-maintained fittings and illuminated exit signs, based on your fire risk assessment. We travel to Skipton for installations and planned maintenance, grouping visits by area to keep costs down.
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.
