What to think about in Bournemouth
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
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.
Hygiene
Drip trays and coils must be kept clean to avoid biological growth.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bournemouth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
