Points to plan for in East Sussex
Budgeting
A fixed annual cost and early warning of units nearing end of life.
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.
Multiple sites
One schedule and one reporting format across all your sites.
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.
