Emergency lighting installation in Ayr

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

Local emergency lighting installation in Ayr

In Ayr, 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.

Most Ayr 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 Ayr, including the KA8, KA7 and KA9 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Prestwick, Troon and Gatehead.
