Local emergency lighting installation in Neath

Most Neath 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.

In Neath, 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.

Neath sits within West Glamorgan. We work throughout the SA10, SA11 and SA7 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Blaenhonddan, Tonna and Briton Ferry.

Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
