Local emergency lighting installation in Leven

In Leven, 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.

Most Leven 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.

We cover the whole of Leven, including the KY8 postcode district, and nearby places such as Methil, Kilconquhar and Glenrothes.
