Ryde FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Ryde?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Ryde offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Do you remove the old fittings in Ryde?

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.

How long must emergency lights last?

The rated duration is set by the design and risk assessment. Three hours is common in premises that may be reoccupied after an incident.
