Local points to consider
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties often require servicing at set intervals by a competent engineer. Keep the reports.
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.
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Working hours
Most Chelmsford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
