What to think about in Broadstairs

Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Broadstairs 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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Broadstairs premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
