Local emergency lighting installation in Coventry

Exit signs in Coventry premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

Most Coventry 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.

Coventry sits within the West Midlands. We work throughout the CV1, CV3 and CV5 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Kenilworth, Bedworth and Nuneaton.
