What to think about in Stoke-on-Trent
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
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
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
