Local points to consider
Repairs
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 Middlesbrough 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Middlesbrough are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
