What to think about in Dronfield
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
