What to think about in Leicestershire
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Working hours
Most Leicestershire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Leicestershire
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
