Local emergency lighting installation in Gairloch
Most Gairloch 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.
For larger Gairloch sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.
Gairloch is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district IV21. We regularly work across the Highlands and Islands, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
We cover Gairloch 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.
