Do you cover all of Newcastle under Lyme?
Yes. We work across Newcastle under Lyme and the ST5, ST4 and ST1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Stoke-on-Trent, Longton and Barlaston.
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.
