Local emergency lighting installation in St Mewan

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

We often find dark spots in St Mewan buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

Our teams travel to St Mewan from across Cornwall. Typical nearby jobs include St Austell, St Blaise and St Columb Major, so we can often combine survey visits.
