Emergency lighting installation in Strachur

What we do in Strachur: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. Self-test emergency fittings suit many Strachur buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Local emergency lighting installation in Strachur

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

For Strachur premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

We cover Strachur 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.
