Local emergency lighting installation in Dingwall

In Dingwall, 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.

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

Dingwall sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV15 and IV7 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Strathpeffer, Muir of Ord and Evanton.

We cover Dingwall 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.
