Local emergency lighting installation in Ruthin

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

Most Ruthin 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.

Ruthin is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district LL15. We regularly work across Clwyd, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
