EC motors

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.
Condensate
Blocked trays are a common cause of ceiling stains; regular cleaning prevents them.

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Berkhamsted are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
