Local emergency lighting installation in Cromarty

Most Cromarty 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.

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

Cromarty is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district IV11. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

We cover Cromarty 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.
