Fire Safety Services in Caversham
Caversham is a well-established suburb and civil parish of Reading in Berkshire, located directly north of the town centre across the River Thames. The built-up area is home to over 33,000 residents, stretching from Lower Caversham by the river up to the elevated neighbourhoods of Caversham Heights and Emmer Green. Originally a separate Oxfordshire village, Caversham became part of Reading in 1911 and expanded significantly following the arrival of the railway in the 19th century.
Transport links are excellent. Two main road bridges—Caversham Bridge and Reading Bridge—along with pedestrian and cycle crossings, connect Caversham directly to Reading town centre. Although there’s no train station in Caversham itself, Reading Station is nearby and offers fast, direct services across the Thames Valley, to London, and beyond. The area is also well served by local bus routes, and the A4074 and A3290 offer convenient road access to the M4 and surrounding towns.
Caversham has a thriving local economy with a mix of independent shops, cafes, schools, and leisure services. Employment levels are high, with a significant proportion of residents working in professional and managerial roles. Many people commute into Reading’s business district, hospital, university, and retail centres. The area also boasts excellent recreational amenities, including riverside green spaces such as Caversham Court Gardens, Thameside Promenade, and Caversham Lakes, making outdoor leisure a popular feature of local life.
For businesses across Caversham, including those in hospitality, retail, professional services, and light industrial sectors, ESI delivers expert electrical and fire safety services. Our engineers support commercial premises with fixed-wire testing, emergency lighting checks, fire alarm maintenance, and full compliance audits.
