Things to check in Forres
Smells
Musty smells usually mean biological growth in the coil or tray; a deep clean and drain treatment normally cures them.
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.
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Forres are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
