Local emergency lighting installation in Abercarn

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

Most Abercarn 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.

For Abercarn premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
