Local emergency lighting installation in Bembridge

In Bembridge, 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.

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

Bembridge is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts PO35, PO34 and PO36. We regularly work across the Isle of Wight, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

We cover Bembridge by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Isle of Wight, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
