Local points to consider
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Working hours
Most South Ockendon 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.
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.
