What to think about in Melksham
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Melksham often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
