What to think about in Hailsham
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
