Local emergency lighting installation in Evanton

For larger Evanton sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

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

Our teams travel to Evanton from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Alness, Dingwall and Invergordon, so we can often combine survey visits.

We cover Evanton 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.
