Local emergency lighting installation in Elgin

In Elgin, 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.

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

Elgin sits within Moray. We work throughout the IV30 postcode district and surrounding places, including Lossiemouth, Mosstodloch and Forres.
