Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Shared buildings
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Newmarket 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.
