Local emergency lighting testing in Cromarty
Annual emergency lighting tests in Cromarty are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Where Cromarty buildings have changed layout, the annual test is a good moment to check that routes are still properly covered.
Our teams travel to Cromarty from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Invergordon, Alness and Nairn, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Cromarty by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

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