Walthamstow FAQs

Can you work out of hours in Walthamstow?

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Walthamstow offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

How quickly can you survey in Walthamstow?

Most surveys in Walthamstow 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.

Who does the work in Walthamstow?

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.
