If your Falkirk 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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Falkirk 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.
