What to think about in Eastbourne
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Working hours
Most Eastbourne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
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.
