Most Dolwyddelan premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

Exit signs in Dolwyddelan premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.
