Local points to consider
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Working hours
Most Braintree businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Noise
Fans and grilles are selected and attenuated to keep noise down.
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.
