We leave Newport clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
Where Newport buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Our teams travel to Newport from across Gwent. Typical nearby jobs include Graig, Caerleon and Risca, so we can often combine survey visits.

Newport FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Newport?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Newport?
Yes. We work across Newport and the NP20, NP19 and NP10 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Graig, Caerleon and Risca.
Can you work out of hours in Newport?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Newport offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
