Annual emergency lighting tests in Lerwick are best booked for late afternoon or evening, so batteries can recharge overnight before people are back in.
Lerwick is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district ZE1. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Lerwick 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.
