Carterton FAQs

Do you cover all of Carterton?
Yes. We work across Carterton and the OX18 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Witney, Eynsham and Shellingford.
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.
