Working hours
Most Smethwick businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
