Mistley FAQs
Do you remove the old fittings in Mistley?
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 Mistley?
Most surveys in Mistley 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 Mistley?
Yes. We work across Mistley and the CO11 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Holbrook, Elmstead and Colchester.
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.
