Local emergency lighting installation in Kyleakin

In Kyleakin, 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.

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

Kyleakin sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV41, IV40 and IV42 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Plockton, Mallaig and Portree.

We cover Kyleakin 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.
