Local emergency lighting installation in Kirknewton

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

Kirknewton sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH27, EH53 and EH28 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Newbridge and Ratho, Broxburn and Livingston.
