Things to check in Burgess Hill
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
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.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Burgess Hill 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.
