Local emergency lighting installation in Kentra
Self-test emergency fittings suit many Kentra buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.
Most Kentra 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.
Our teams travel to Kentra from across the Highlands and Islands. Typical nearby jobs include Arisaig, Isle of Eigg and Mallaig, so we can often combine survey visits.
We cover Kentra 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.
