Local emergency lighting installation in Gorseness
We often find dark spots in Gorseness buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.
For larger Gorseness sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.
Our teams travel to Gorseness from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Kirkwall and Stromness, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Gorseness 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.
