Things to check in Chelmsford
Multiple sites
One schedule and one reporting format across all your sites.
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.
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
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.
