Things to check in Faversham
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Leased premises
If your Faversham 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.
