Leiston FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Leiston?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Leiston offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you cover all of Leiston?
Yes. We work across Leiston and the IP16, IP15 and IP17 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Aldeburgh, Kelsale and Southwold.
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.
