Gosforth FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Gosforth?
Most surveys in Gosforth can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Do you cover all of Gosforth?
Yes. We work across Gosforth and the CA20, CA21 and CA19 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Beckermet, Muncaster and Egremont.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Gosforth?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Why is the annual test done out of hours?
After a full-duration test the batteries need time to recharge, so the building is less protected for a while. Testing at the end of the day avoids that risk while people are inside.
