Local emergency lighting installation in Gosforth

Exit signs in Gosforth premises need to be visible from the route, which sometimes means adding directional signs at changes of direction.

We often find dark spots in Gosforth buildings where partitions have moved since the original emergency lighting was installed.

We cover the whole of Gosforth, including the NE3, NE2 and NE7 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne and Longbenton.
