Local emergency lighting installation in Montrose

Most Montrose premises we survey have emergency lighting that has grown piecemeal. We map every escape route and open area against BS 5266-1 before suggesting new fittings.

For larger Montrose sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

We cover the whole of Montrose, including the DD10 postcode district, and nearby places such as Brechin, Laurencekirk and Arbroath.

Montrose FAQs

Which rules apply to lighting work in Montrose?

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.

Can you work out of hours in Montrose?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Montrose offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Which standard applies?

BS 5266-1:2025 is the current code of practice, replacing the 2016 edition. It works alongside BS EN 1838:2024 for light levels and BS EN 50172:2024 for installation, testing and records.
