Arniston FAQs
Do you cover all of Arniston?
Yes. We work across Arniston and the EH23, EH22 and EH19 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Bonnyrigg, Rosewell and Dalkeith.
Do you remove the old fittings in Arniston?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Can you work out of hours in Arniston?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Arniston offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
