Local emergency lighting installation in Kirkliston

In Kirkliston, 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.

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

We cover the whole of Kirkliston, including the EH29, EH28 and EH30 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Newbridge and Ratho, Queensferry and Broxburn.
