Emergency lighting installation in Bath

Escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Most Bath 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Bath

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

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

Our teams travel to Bath from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Bradford-on-Avon, Keynsham and Bitton, so we can often combine survey visits.
