Local lighting maintenance contracts in Lerwick
A running asset list for each Lerwick site shows which fittings are oldest, which helps plan LED replacement budgets.
Landlords with several Lerwick units use our maintenance contracts to keep test records consistent across every tenancy.
We cover the whole of Lerwick, including the ZE1 postcode district, and nearby places such as Toab.
We cover Lerwick 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.
