Local emergency lighting installation in Porthmadog

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

In Porthmadog, 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.

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