Local emergency lighting installation in Wemyss Bay

Most Wemyss Bay 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.

In Wemyss Bay, 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.

We cover the whole of Wemyss Bay, including the PA18 and PA17 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Skelmorlie, Dunoon and Gourock.
