Local emergency lighting installation in Aberlour

Exit signs in Aberlour premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

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

Our teams travel to Aberlour from across Moray. Typical nearby jobs include Keith, Mosstodloch and Ballindalloch, so we can often combine survey visits.

We cover Aberlour by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in Moray, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
