Loughton FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Loughton?
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 Loughton?
Most surveys in Loughton 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.
Do you cover all of Loughton?
Yes. We work across Loughton and the IG9, IG10 and IG7 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Woodford Green, Chingford and Stapleford Abbotts.
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.
