Local emergency lighting installation in Newport

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

In Newport, 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.

Newport is one of the larger places we cover, covered by postcode districts NP20, NP19 and NP10. We regularly work across Gwent, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
