Emergency lighting installation in Lossiemouth

Local emergency lighting installation in Lossiemouth

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

Most Lossiemouth 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.

Lossiemouth is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode district IV31. We regularly work across Moray, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

We cover Lossiemouth 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.
