Local emergency lighting testing in Insch
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Insch buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
If fittings in your Insch premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Insch is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district AB52. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Insch FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Insch?
Fire safety duties come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. For new lighting, Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Insch?
Yes. We work across Insch and the AB52 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Inverurie, Alford and Huntly.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
