Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Balerno 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.
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in Scotland must meet Section 3 of the Scottish building standards. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
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.
