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

In Weare, 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.

Weare sits within Somerset. We work throughout the BS26, BS25 and BS29 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Winscombe, Banwell and Cheddar.
