Local emergency lighting installation in Pontypool

Most Pontypool 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.

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

Pontypool sits within Gwent. We work throughout the NP4 and NP44 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Cwmbran, Abertillery and Abercarn.
