Barrow in Furness FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Barrow in Furness?

Do you remove the old fittings in Barrow in Furness?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
