What to think about in Bournemouth
Switch it off
If water is coming through a ceiling or the unit is tripping, switch it off at the isolator until it is checked.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bournemouth often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
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.
