Towcester FAQs
Do you cover all of Towcester?
Yes. We work across Towcester and the NN12 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Cosgrove, Duston and Stony Stratford.
Can you work out of hours in Towcester?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Towcester offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Do you remove the old fittings in Towcester?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
