Local points to consider
Filters
Filter grades should match the original design or current guidance for the building.
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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Who we work with in Rochester
