Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Working hours
Most Bishops Stortford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
