Helston FAQs
Do you cover all of Helston?
Yes. We work across Helston and the TR13 postcode district, plus nearby places such as St Keverne, Camborne and Hayle.
Do you remove the old fittings in Helston?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Helston?
Most surveys in Helston can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
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.
