Christmas and New Year Opening Hours

We’re planning some closures over the December period in line with the bank holidays.

In addition, we want to make you aware of possible delays with shipping that we tend to see at this time of year due to how busy things get for our couriers.


Our emergency care team will still be on hand

If you have an alarm that is monitored by Telecare24, please rest assured that their team will still answer if you trigger your alarm. When we say that our monitoring service is 24/7, 365 days a year, we mean it. That doesn’t change over public holidays.


Our main office will be closing for Christmas

Our office will be closed on 24th December. We’ll be back at 9 am on 28th December. We’ll also be closed on 31st and reopened 3rd January which is the adjusted public holiday for New Year’s.

Please note, this is a different office from where the Telecare24 monitoring team are based. They will continue to answer emergency calls 24/7.
