Isle of Rum FAQs
Who does the work in Isle of Rum?
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.
Do you cover all of Isle of Rum?
Yes. We work across Isle of Rum and the PH43 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Isle of Canna, Isle of Eigg and Mallaig.
Can you work out of hours in Isle of Rum?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Isle of Rum offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
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.
