For larger Bridgwater sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

In Bridgwater, 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.

Bridgwater is a town with plenty of offices, shops and units, covered by postcode districts TA6 and TA7. We regularly work across Somerset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
