Closed Days
PLEASE EMAIL US AS OUR BT LANDLINE TELEPHONE LINE IS FAULTY
Our email is on a different system so we can communicate via email.
You can call/telephone and leave a message only on the diverted answer machine mail box; we will then call you back when a mobile reception signal is available. Experience has taught us that the BT repairs to the line may take a few weeks as it involves tree work and physical line replacement. Over the decades we have become used to the BT lines failing during the autumn/winter months so we are able to continue to work.
*Closed 23rd December 2024 until 3rd January 2025
*We always have some closed days coming up during the year and we are always closed on Bank Holidays and at the weekend
On closed days emails will be monitored but may not be answered straight away.
On closed days answer machine messages will not be monitored until we return to work.
