Local emergency lighting installation in Alness

We often find dark spots in Alness buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

In Alness, 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.

Alness sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV17, IV16 and IV18 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Invergordon, Evanton and Cromarty.

We cover Alness by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
