Things to check in Forres
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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 Forres businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
