How it works in Lancashire

Before you book in Lancashire
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Working hours
Most Lancashire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Lancashire
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
