Spare fluorescent tubes are getting harder to buy since the 2023–24 phase-out, which is why many sites in Consett now upgrade a floor or a unit at a time rather than waiting for failures.
Consett is a substantial town, covered by postcode districts DH8 and NE17. We regularly work across County Durham, so access, parking and out-of-hours working are planned before we arrive.

Consett FAQs
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.
Do you cover all of Consett?
Yes. We work across Consett and the DH8 and NE17 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stanley, Blaydon and Stocksfield.
Can you work out of hours in Consett?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Consett offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you just change the tubes?
We recommend replacing the whole luminaire. Retrofit LED tubes leave old ballasts and holders in place, which can fail and complicate future maintenance. A complete fitting is cleaner, more efficient and simpler to certify.
