Hygiene
Drip trays and coils must be kept clean to avoid biological growth.
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.
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Working hours
Most Birmingham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
