Portobello FAQs
Do you cover all of Portobello?
Yes. We work across Portobello and the EH15, EH8 and EH7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Liberton and Craigmillar, Musselburgh and Leith.
Do you remove the old fittings in Portobello?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Who does the work in Portobello?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
