Local emergency lighting installation in Annan

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

Most Annan 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.

Annan sits within Dumfries and Galloway. We work throughout the DG12 postcode district and surrounding places, including Gretna, Lockerbie and Waverton.
