Local emergency lighting installation in Bridgend

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

Bridgend is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts CF31, CF35 and CF32. We regularly work across Mid Glamorgan, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
