Local emergency lighting installation in Tavistock

In Tavistock, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

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

Tavistock is a local centre, covered by postcode districts PL19 and PL18. We regularly work across Devon, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
