Local emergency lighting testing in Largs
Annual emergency lighting tests in Largs are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Largs buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
Our teams travel to Largs from across Ayrshire. Typical nearby jobs include Fairlie, Millport and Skelmorlie, so we can often combine survey visits.

Largs FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Largs?
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 Largs?
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.
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.
