Local emergency lighting installation in Strathpeffer

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

Most Strathpeffer 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 cover the whole of Strathpeffer, including the IV14 postcode district, and nearby places such as Dingwall, Muir of Ord and Evanton.

We cover Strathpeffer 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.
