Local emergency lighting installation in Winscombe

In Winscombe, 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.

We often find dark spots in Winscombe buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

We cover the whole of Winscombe, including the BS25, BS29 and BS26 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Banwell, Weare and Yatton.
