External and security lighting in Portree
Wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. Available across Portree and the Highlands and Islands. For Portree sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Local external and security lighting in Portree
Fire exit doors in Portree buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
Photocell and timer control lets Portree premises keep routes lit when staff are around and dim later at night.
Portree sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the IV51 postcode district and surrounding places, including Kyleakin and Plockton.
We cover Portree by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.

Portree FAQs
Do you cover all of Portree?
Yes. We work across Portree and the IV51 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Kyleakin and Plockton.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Portree?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
