Local emergency lighting installation in Bangor

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

Bangor sits within County Down. We work throughout the BT20 and BT19 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Newtownards, Donaghadee and Carrickfergus.
