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