Most Perranporth 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.

For Perranporth premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
