Preston is a university city with student accommodation, offices, public buildings and business parks around the M6 and M55. Student blocks and shared buildings need clear zone plans and dependable servicing to keep false alarms down.

We cover Preston and nearby areas including Fulwood, Penwortham, Leyland and Chorley, across the PR postcode area. Typical customers here include student accommodation, commercial, education and public sector.

How we work outside Yorkshire

The M62 and the A65/A59 put east Lancashire and Greater Manchester within easy reach of our engineers. Much of our work here is for organisations with sites on both sides of the Pennines who want one contractor, one standard and one set of paperwork. We also work for local businesses who want a BAFE and SSAIB certificated installer with a fixed price and a named engineer.
