What to think about in Kettering
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
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.
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kettering often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
