Local emergency lighting installation in Lochdon
Most Lochdon 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.
Exit signs in Lochdon premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.
For Lochdon premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
We cover Lochdon 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.
