Local emergency lighting installation in Inverness

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Inverness buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

In Inverness, 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.

Inverness sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV1, IV3 and IV2 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Avoch, Muir of Ord and Dingwall.
