Kirknewton FAQs

Do you cover all of Kirknewton?

Yes. We work across Kirknewton and the EH27, EH53 and EH28 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Newbridge and Ratho, Broxburn and Livingston.

Do you remove the old fittings in Kirknewton?

Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.

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.

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.
