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

Most Rhiwbina 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.

We cover the whole of Rhiwbina, including the CF14, CF23 and CF24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Pentwyn, Cardiff and Ely.
