Local emergency lighting installation in Earlston

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

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

Earlston is a local centre, covered by postcode districts TD4 and TD6. We regularly work across the Scottish Borders, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
