Local emergency lighting installation in Portishead

Most Portishead 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.

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Portishead buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Portishead is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts BS20, BS48 and BS11. We regularly work across Somerset, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
