What to think about in the Scottish Borders
Frequency
Most units need a deep clean every one to two years; kitchens and salons more often.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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.
Premises we work in around the Scottish Borders
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
