Emergency lighting installation in Portree
In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Portree, 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.
Local emergency lighting installation in Portree
For larger Portree sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.
We often find dark spots in Portree buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.
We cover the whole of Portree, including the IV51 postcode district, and nearby places such as Kyleakin and Plockton.
We cover Portree 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.
