Local emergency lighting installation in Jedburgh

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

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

Our teams travel to Jedburgh from across the Scottish Borders. Typical nearby jobs include Newtown St Boswells, Kelso and Hawick, so we can often combine survey visits.
