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