Peebles FAQs
Do you cover all of Peebles?
Yes. We work across Peebles and the EH45 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Innerleithen, Walkerburn and West Linton and Dolphinton.
Do you remove the old fittings in Peebles?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
How quickly can you survey in Peebles?
Most surveys in Peebles 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.
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.
