The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Working hours
Most Eastbourne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
