Before you book in Harwich
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.
Working hours
Most Harwich businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
