Points to plan for in Gloucester
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Leased premises
If your Gloucester 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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Gloucester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
