Before you book in Colchester
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Frequency
Most units need a deep clean every one to two years; kitchens and salons more often.
Leased premises
If your Colchester premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
