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

Most Portnahaven 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.

We cover the whole of Portnahaven, including the PA47 postcode district, and nearby places such as Port Charlotte, Bowmore and Port Ellen.

We cover Portnahaven 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.
