Local emergency lighting installation in Mendip

Most Mendip 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.

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

We cover the whole of Mendip, including the BA5 postcode district, and nearby places such as St Cuthbert Out, Shepton Mallet and Cheddar.
