Fire Safety Services in Marchwood
Marchwood is a village and civil parish in the New Forest District of Hampshire, situated on the western edge of Southampton Water. It is part of the Totton and Eling parish, with Marchwood itself housing around 5,000 residents and the wider parish reaching approximately 29,000. Historically, Marchwood served as a modest milling and agricultural settlement before gaining prominence through its proximity to Southampton’s port and by hosting the Marchwood Military Port, which still operates today.
Transport connections are well-established. The village is served by local bus routes linking it to Southampton, Totton, and nearby New Forest villages. Although Marchwood lacks its own railway station, Southampton Central and the local Totton station offer convenient rail access, while road travel is supported by the nearby M27 and A326, providing efficient routes to Winchester, Lyndhurst, and the broader South Hampshire region.
The local economy is a blend of port-related activity, light industry, and small-scale trade. The ongoing operation of the Marchwood Military Port underpins logistics and associated businesses. Nearby industrial parks and estates host SMEs specialising in engineering, storage, vehicle services, and construction trades. Village centre shops, cafés, The Pilgrim pub, a village hall, and local care and education services support everyday life.
ESI delivers tailored electrical and fire-safety solutions to businesses throughout Marchwood and the surrounding New Forest area. Whether you operate within port logistics, an engineering workshop, light industrial unit, or local care and retail premises, our certified engineers offer compliant inspections, emergency lighting testing, fire-alarm servicing, and full audit support—ensuring secure operations with minimal disruption.
