Things to check in Kirkcaldy
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Kirkcaldy are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
