Emergency lighting installation in Kinross

In short: escape route lighting and exit signs designed to BS 5266-1. In Kinross, 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.

Local emergency lighting installation in Kinross

Self-test emergency fittings suit many Kinross buildings, because they run their own checks and flag faults, cutting the manual testing burden.

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

Our teams travel to Kinross from across Perth and Kinross. Typical nearby jobs include Lochgelly, Cowdenbeath and Dunfermline, so we can often combine survey visits.
