Local emergency lighting installation in Isle of Rum

Most Isle of Rum 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.

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

Our teams travel to Isle of Rum from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Isle of Canna, Isle of Eigg and Mallaig, so we can often combine survey visits.

We cover Isle of Rum 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.
