Local emergency lighting installation in Thurso
Exit signs in Thurso premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.
In Thurso, 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 cover the whole of Thurso, including the KW14 postcode district, and nearby places such as Halkirk, Wick and Lybster.
We cover Thurso 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.
