Points to plan for in Fleet
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Fleet 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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
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.
