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

In Portrush, 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.

Our teams travel to Portrush from across County Londonderry. Typical nearby jobs include Portstewart, Coleraine and Bushmills, so we can often combine survey visits.
