Duns FAQs
Who does the work in Duns?
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 Duns?
Yes. We work across Duns and the TD11 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Greenlaw, Cornhill-on-Tweed and Cockburnspath.
Can you work out of hours in Duns?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Duns 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.
