We work across Canary Wharf's postcode districts, including E14 and SE16. Nearby, we also cover Bow (about 2 km), Canning Town (about 3 km) and Greenwich (about 3 km).

Things to check in Canary Wharf

If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Canary Wharf 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.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Leased premises
If your Canary Wharf premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
