Self-test emergency fittings suit many Ardrishaig buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

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

We cover the whole of Ardrishaig, including the PA30 and PA31 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Lochgilphead, Tighnabruaich and Strachur.

We cover Ardrishaig by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Argyll and Bute, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
