Gairloch FAQs
How quickly can you survey in Gairloch?
Most surveys in Gairloch 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 Gairloch?
Yes. We work across Gairloch and the IV21 postcode district, plus nearby places such as the Highlands and Islands.
Who does the work in Gairloch?
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.
