Local emergency lighting installation in Dudley

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

Most Dudley 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 Dudley, including the DY2, DY1 and B64 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford.
