Local points to consider
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Fraserburgh 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.
