Local emergency lighting installation in Tranent

In Tranent, 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 Tranent buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

Tranent sits within Edinburgh and the Lothians. We work throughout the EH33, EH32 and EH35 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Prestonpans, Ormiston and Musselburgh.
