Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Leased premises
If your Hinckley 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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Working hours
Most Hinckley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
