Points to plan for in Cumbria
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.
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Cumbria are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Types of premises we cover in Cumbria
