Gosforth FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Gosforth?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Gosforth offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Gosforth?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Do you cover all of Gosforth?
Yes. We work across Gosforth and the NE3, NE2 and NE7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne and Longbenton.
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.
