Local emergency lighting installation in Heriot

Most Heriot 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.

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

For Heriot premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.
