Many Ellingham businesses do their own monthly flick tests and bring us in for the annual three-hour test, repairs and the certificate.
Ellingham is a smaller community with its own businesses, covered by postcode districts NE67 and NE68. We regularly work across Northumberland, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.
