Charminster FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Charminster?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Charminster offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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 Charminster?
Yes. We work across Charminster and the DT2 and DT1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Dorchester, Weymouth and Castleton.
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.
