Local emergency lighting installation in Taunton

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

Our teams travel to Taunton from across Somerset. Typical nearby jobs include Stoke St Mary, Wellington and Lydeard St Lawrence, so we can often combine survey visits.
