Local emergency lighting installation in Ffestiniog

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

Our teams travel to Ffestiniog from across Gwynedd. Typical nearby jobs include Penrhyndeudraeth, Dolwyddelan and Talsarnau, so we can often combine survey visits.
