Emergency lighting installation in New Quay

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Exit signs in New Quay premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Local emergency lighting installation in New Quay

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

In New Quay, 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.
