What to think about in Gwent
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.
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Leased premises
If your Gwent 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.
