What to think about in Rochester
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Working hours
Most Rochester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
F-gas
Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
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.
