Local emergency lighting installation in Barry

In Barry, 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.

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

Barry sits within South Glamorgan. We work throughout the CF62 and CF63 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Penarth, Ely and Cardiff.
