Points to plan for in Sunderland
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Sunderland 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.
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Leased premises
If your Sunderland premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
