Local emergency lighting testing in Ayr
If fittings in your Ayr premises fail their annual test, we give you a fixed price for replacement batteries or fittings before we leave.
Where Ayr buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Ayr sits within Ayrshire. We work throughout the KA8, KA7 and KA9 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Prestwick, Troon and Gatehead.

Ayr FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Ayr?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Ayr?
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 Ayr?
Yes. We work across Ayr and the KA8, KA7 and KA9 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Prestwick, Troon and Gatehead.
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.
