Points to plan for in Gelligaer

Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Gelligaer 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.
Types of premises we cover in Gelligaer
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
