Emergency lighting installation in Weymouth

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Available across Weymouth and Dorset. In Weymouth, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Weymouth

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

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

Weymouth sits within Dorset. We work throughout the DT4 and DT3 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Portland, Dorchester and Charminster.
