Things to check in Carrickfergus
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Carrickfergus 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.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
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.
