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.

Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for York offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.

Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
