Where we work around Barking
Premises in Barking are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.

Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
