Local emergency lighting installation in Portlethen

Exit signs in Portlethen premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

In Portlethen, as elsewhere, the person responsible for fire safety must make sure escape routes are lit if the power fails. A clear design and certificate is the simplest evidence for your fire risk assessment.

Portlethen is a local centre, covered by postcode district AB12. We regularly work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
