Bridge of Orchy FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Bridge of Orchy?
Most surveys in Bridge of Orchy can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Bridge of Orchy?
Yes. We work across Bridge of Orchy and the PA36 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Kinlochleven, Glencoe and Killin.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Bridge of Orchy?
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.
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.
