Points to plan for in Braintree
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Braintree 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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Leased premises
If your Braintree 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.
