For larger Rutherglen sites, an addressable system lets you see every emergency fitting's status from one panel.

In Rutherglen, 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.

Rutherglen sits within Lanarkshire. We work throughout the G73, G40 and G42 postcode districts and surrounding places, including Cambuslang, Glasgow and Giffnock.
