Frequently Asked Questions
We carry out a technical survey on site, free of charge within London and chargeable elsewhere at a fee agreed in advance. We then prepare a detailed work plan in compliance with all safety standards (IRATA, BS 7985), and execute the service with certified technicians using state-of-the-art equipment.
The timescale varies depending on the complexity and scale of the project. After the technical survey, we provide a detailed programme. We work efficiently without compromising safety or quality.
