Emergency lighting testing in Portree
In short: monthly function tests, annual duration tests and certificates. Many Portree businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Local emergency lighting testing in Portree
Self-test fittings make monthly checks easier in Portree buildings, but someone still needs to read the indicators and keep the log book.
We leave Portree clients with a completed log book and certificate that can sit straight alongside their fire risk assessment.
We cover the whole of Portree, including the IV51 postcode district, and nearby places such as Kyleakin and Plockton.
We cover Portree 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.

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.

Can you work out of hours in Portree?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Portree offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Can we do the monthly tests ourselves?
Yes. A trained, competent person can do the monthly flick test and record it. Many businesses do this in-house and bring us in for the annual test and repairs.
