Atherton FAQs

Yes. We work across Atherton and the M46, M29 and BL5 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh.
Who does the work in Atherton?
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.
