Before you book in Essex
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties often require servicing at set intervals by a competent engineer. Keep the reports.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Essex 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.
Frequency
Most commercial systems should be serviced at least once a year; busy kitchens, gyms, salons and server rooms usually need two or more visits.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Essex

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
