Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Lichfield 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.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
