Local emergency lighting installation in Golspie

Most Golspie 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.

Exit signs in Golspie premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

We cover the whole of Golspie, including the KW10 postcode district, and nearby places such as Brora, Rogart and Tain.

We cover Golspie 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.
